Question

Find the rule and the graph of the function whose graph can be obtained by performing the translation 2 units left and 3

units up on the parent function f(x)=x?

Answer 1

b.

Explanation:

1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:

f(x)=x³ (This is the simplest form. We need to translate it 3 units left and 2 units down)

2. If you take the parent function and make y=f(x+3), then you have:

(The function is shifted 3 units left on the x-axis).

3. Then you if you make y=f(x+3)-2, as following, you obtain:

(The function is shifted 2 units down on the y-axis).

4. Therefore, that is how you obtain the final function.

The answer is the graph shown in .b

Answer 2

The other guy is wrong. The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

It is a translation 2 units left, so (x+2)^2 is what you need here. It shifts up 3 units so that adds +3 on the outside. So f(x) = (x+2)^2 +3 or OPTION C
