Question

Describe how the graph of y= x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation.

y = (x - 15)2

Shift the graph of y = x2 right 15 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 left 15 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 down 15 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 up 15 units.

Answer 1

y=f(x)

then the graph of f(x-a) is obtained by shifting the graph of f(x) 'a' units to the right

Answer 2

so a??? :)

Answer 3

Graphs can be shifted up, down, left or right.
You should be able to recognize the direction of the shift from the form of the function. For example, f(x-2) involves shifting the graph of f(x) 2 units to the right.

There are 3 other cases. Supposing you begin with f(x) and wish to shift the graph 1 unit up. What would your function look like?
