@WolframWizard I think (5,7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all you are told is that \(f(5)=-8\) if you switch to \(f(x+2)\) what number would you make \(x\) to get \(5\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.e. solve \[x+2=5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (5,3) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only output you know is \(-8\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if \(x+2=5\) then \(x=3\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea... sooo to get -8 you need --5...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so on the graph of \[y=f(x+2)\] plug in \(3\) get \(f(3+2)=f(5)=-8\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if \((5,-8)\) is on the graph of \(y=f(x)\) the corresponding point on the graph of \(y=f(x+2)\) is \((3,-8)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we could do an actual example with an actual function if you like, maybe make it more clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It;s up to you. I have some more though. May I tag you in the next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure why not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i used to like playing tag

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaha, cute pun :p
