ok

OpenStudy (danjs):

x^6 you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (danjs):

(x-a) quantity means that you are shifting the graph horizontal along the x axis by the amount a

OpenStudy (danjs):

in this case a=-4 so you are shifting left along the x direction 4 units

OpenStudy (danjs):

the -8 at the end, is the shift in the y direction

OpenStudy (danjs):

you are shifting 8 units towards the neg y direction

OpenStudy (danjs):

the -3 is a factor that will stretch our squish the graph

OpenStudy (danjs):

General form of this equation, where you can change a,b,and c. I would graph that and play around with a,b,c and observe what happens. f(x) = a*(x - b)^6 + c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This really helped, thank you.

OpenStudy (danjs):

if you use desmos graphing web page... you can actually use a,b,c and have a slider for em so you can slide a bar to change the values on the fly. and watch what happens
