Question

1. Describe how the graph of y= x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation.

y = x2 + 8
Shift the graph of y = x2 up 8 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 right 8 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 left 8 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 down 8 units.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Please write y = x^2. The " ^ " symbol indicates exponentiation.

Here's how we get from the graph of y = x^2 to the graph of y = x^2 + 8:

Graph y = x^2. Now translate the entire graph 8 units up.
