Question

The following is the graph of function g(x) if h = -4 and the parent function is f(x) = x2.

Answer 1

i understand where the -4 comes from, but the x^2 is confusing me.

Answer 2

x^2 is original graph of the quadratic equation (parent function )

Answer 3

like this
so they are saying -4 is shifting from the original graph(0)

Answer 4

vertex form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
k= vertical shift
h= horizontal shift

Answer 5

so is true

Answer 6

using vertex form, you can always plug in numbers to check.

Answer 7

okay. thank you.

Answer 8

if k is positive you should shift the f(x) some units above the x-axis
if k is negative shift below the x-axis some units
for horizontal you would be careful abt signs
if h is negative shift the function some units to the Right side
if h is positive shift the function some units to the left side

Answer 9

\[y=a(x-(-4))^2+k\]
when negative by negative 4 :)

Answer 10

thank you!

Answer 11

you got it ? so what's ur answer ? @Penguin7

Answer 12

true!

Answer 13

yep
