Help I need help on this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nnesha (nnesha):

`f(a+h)`= horizontal shift (if h is negative then shift to the right , and if h is positive then shift to the left ) `f(a)+k `= vertical shift (if k is positive then shift up , and if k is negative then shift some units down)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK so that means it would be what?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeah tell me it would be what ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

here is an example (x-2)^2 +3 the number in the parentheses represent h so h is negative so shifting 2 units to right and number outside the parentheses represent k 3 is positive so 3 units up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would it be? A, B, C or D?

Nnesha (nnesha):

i gave u the information you have to tell me which is it and why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont get it still

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nnesha here is an example (x-2)^2 +3 the number in the parentheses represent h so h is negative so shifting 2 units to right and number outside the parentheses represent k 3 is positive so 3 units up \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) look at this example the number in the parentheses represent horizontal shift (h)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get h from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its either b or c right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

h is a variable that represent a number in the parentheses look at your question what number is replaced by h ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

read your question is it 5 units right /left or up/down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

left/right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right so number should be outside the absolute bar or inside ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inside?

Nnesha (nnesha):

inside the absolute bar ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[y =\left| x-h \right| +k\] h = horizontal shift k=vertical shift

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it would be outside the bar right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

the question is `5 units to the right` and bec h represent the horizontal shift(left/right) so it would be inside the bar
