Question

What value represents the vertical translation from the graph of the parent function f(x)=x² to the graph of the function

Answer 1

Answer: 3

Reason:

Going from x^2 to (x+5)^2 means we shift the graph 5 units to the left.

The +3 at the end shifts the parabola up 3 units. This is because we add 3 to each y value. For instance a point like (0,25) moves to (0,28)
