Question

Please help! I don't understand!
How can the graph of y = x^2 be shifted to obtain the graph of y = (x-2)^2 + 3 ?

Answer 1

Answer 2

I know it has to do with f(x+c), f(x)+c), f(cx), or c(f(x)). I just don't know which one!

Answer 3

what does that +3 do?

Answer 4

shifts the graph 3 units up?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

how about that x-2?

Answer 7

makes the graph move two units to the left?

Answer 8

close, it's actually to the right

Answer 9

x+2 would shift it 2 units to the left

Answer 10

it's opposite because the general form is x-h

h tells you if it shifts left or right (h < 0 is left, h > 0 is right)

Answer 11

So to shift the graph of y = ^2 to obtain the graph of y =(x-2)^2 you would shift the graph 2 units to the right and 3 units up?

Answer 12

correct

Answer 13

you meant to say y = x^2

Answer 14

Yes, thank you.

Answer 15

no problem
