Question

Can someone help https://www.dropbox.com/s/zaqxa4sz16e9a0k/Screenshot%202016-01-01%2014.39.37.png?dl=0

Answer 1

This value h moves the function h to the `right`,\[\large\rm y=(x-h)^2\]

This value k moves the graph `up` by k,\[\large\rm y=x^2+k\]

Answer 2

Vertical is `up/down`, ya? :)

Answer 3

so y+x^2+k

Answer 4

i mean y=x^2+k

Answer 5

They want you to pick out `the actual number` that is causing the vertical change.
It's either the 5 or the 3.

Answer 6

OHHH

Answer 7

so y=5^2

Answer 8

Hmm maybe I made that too confusing :(

Answer 9

\[\large\rm y=(x-\color{orangered}{h})^2+\color{royalblue}{k}\]This is a horizontal shift of \(\large\rm \color{orangered}{h}\),
and a vertical shift of \(\large\rm \color{royalblue}{k}\),

And we were given this equation,\[\large\rm y=(x-\color{orangered}{-5})^2+\color{royalblue}{3}\]

Answer 10

so 3 represents the vertical translation

Answer 11

so just 3, i don't have to put in an equation of some sort?

Answer 12

Yes, just 3 :)

Answer 13

I would write: "That 3 represents the distance that the graph of y=x^2 is to be translated upward." No equation needed, but a verbal explanation surely would be helpful.

Answer 14

thanks
