Question

consider the function y=x^2+5x-2 what would happeb to the graph if (x-3) was substituted in the place of the x

Answer 1

Remember that given any function, if we subtitude

`x`

for

`x-a`

We're moving the function's graph a units horizontaly

Note that a could be negative, and we would end up with

`x-(-a)\rightarrow x+a`

That means we move the graph a units to the left.

In this case, we have

`x-3`

That means that the graph of the function moves 3 units to the right
