Question

If you vertically shift the quadratic parent function f(x)=x^2 down nine units what is the equation of the new function

Answer 1

{x}^{2} - 9

Explanation:

Answer 2

f(x) = x^2 - 9

Explanation:

You need every y-coordinate to become 9 less than what it was, so

f(x) = x^2

becomes

f(x) = x^2 - 9
