Answer 2

Hint: Try plugging in different values for k and compare the graphs, also set a=1 , b = 2, h = 0 to make it easy

Answer 3

here I have graphed two equations with k=0, k=1

Answer 4

what is the overall effect on the graph by changing k = 0 to k=1

Answer 5

Simply put, K determines your starting point on a graph.

Answer 6

Do have this one since it was explained @Radelp

Answer 7

yep thank you guys

Answer 8

the value k is what we call the vertical shift for this function
