Question

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = (x + 2)2 to the graph of y = x2 + 3?

Answer 1

1. Consider the transformation that maps the graph of the function $y=(x+2)^2$ into the graph of the function $y=x^2.$ This transmormation has a rule:

(x,y)→(x+2,y)

that is translation 2 units to the right.

2. Consider the transformation that maps the graph of the function $y=x^2$ into the graph of the function $y=x^2+3.$ This transformation has a rule:

(x,y)→(x,y+3)

that is translation 3 units up.

Answer: correct choice is C.

Answer 2

C looks like the right answer
