Question

Which phrase best describes the transformation from the graph of y=(2x-15)^2+3 to the graph of y=2(x-11)^2+3?

Answer 1

The graph's vertex would move 4 to the right and would become twice as wide.

Explanation:

We can tell this because the x value of the vertex is the constant inside the parenthesis. In this case, the number changes from 11 to 15, which means it moves to the right by 4.

And with the 2 outside of the parenthesis instead of inside, it becomes more wide (since the 2 is not being squared).
