Question

How does the graph of f (x) = ( x -1)^2 relate to the basic function f (x)=x^2

A) shift 1 unit to the left
B) shift 1 unit to the right
C)shift 1 until up
D) shift 1 until down

Answer 1

have you graphed the curves..?

Answer 2

can you identify the zeros of each curve..?

Answer 3

$$
y=(x-h)^2
$$

Will shift \(y=x^2\) to the RIGHT by h units

$$
y=(x+h)^2
$$

Will shift \(y=x^2\) to the LEFT by h units

Does this help?
