Question

Describe the transformation of the parent function f(x)=x^2

i have to translate f(x)=(x-9)^2+2

but i have no idea what im doing pls help

Answer 1

because there is (x-9) it means that you left the function 9 units to the RIGHT.
you can think about it this way: first you have x^2 so at 0 you got 0
now when you plug in 9 you get 0
so shifted to the right

the +2 means that you shift the function 2 units UP.
