Describe how the graph of y=x^2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation. Y=(x-10)^2+8. Describe how to transform the graph of f into the graph of g. f(x)=√x and g(x)=√-x Describe the transformations required to obtain the graph of the function f(x) from the graph of the function g(x). f(x)=9cosx; g(x)=cosx Please Help. Thank you!:)

satellite73 (satellite73):

from \[y=x^2\] to \[y=(x-10)^2+8\] is two transformations the \(+8\) out at the end sends the graph up 8 units, that one should be clear right?

OpenStudy (kpoprocks21):

Yes. The -10 is moving the graph left? @satellite73

satellite73 (satellite73):

no actually it would seem like it, so this is the confusing part it actually moves the graph to the RIGHT 10 units, not to the left

satellite73 (satellite73):

the reason is this: you are subtracting 10 BEFORE squaring, which has the effect of moving the y axis to the left 10, which means the graph moves to the RIGHT 10

OpenStudy (kpoprocks21):

Okay. Just was not sure. Thx

yw

OpenStudy (kpoprocks21):

I don't really know how to solve the second question @agent0smith

satellite73 (satellite73):

what was on the left is now on the right, and vice versa

satellite73 (satellite73):

that has the effect of rotating the curve about the y axis left becomes right, right becomes left
