Question

Describe the transformations necessary to get from the graph of the parent function f(x)=x? to the

graph of the given function.
G(x)= 2(x - 3)^2 + 9
(Compress,Stretch)the graph vertically by a factor of_______
then translate the graph_______units to the (right,left)and _______ units (down,up)

Answer 1

translate the graph 5 units left and down 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate the function f(x) by an amount h units right and k units up, make the transformation ...

g(x) = f(x -h) +k

Comparing this to your equation,

g(x) = f(x +5) -2

we see that the translation is h = -5, k = -2.

The graph of f(x) is translated 5 units left and 2 units down to make the graph of g(x).
