Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 has been shifted into the form f(x) = (x − h)2 + k

What is the value of h?
a)1
b) -1
c) -3
d) 3

Answer 1

ya loool

Answer 2

do you mind explaining how you got that :)?

Answer 3

btw howdoes h=4 4 isnt even an option

Answer 4

In this form, 'h' is the amount the plot is shifted in the x direction. So, how much is the parabola shifted in the x direction?

Answer 5

idk 2 ?

Answer 6

Look at the plot. Where is the bottom of the parabola?

Answer 7

3

Answer 8

Yes, the bottom of the parabola is shifted 3 to the right. So, h=3.
There is no calculating to do here. This form is the same idea as the slope intercept form of a line, the location of the graph can be read directly from the equation.
