Question

Which equation would shift the parabola down 3 units? A) y = x2 B) y = x2 - 3 C) y = x2 + 3 D) y = (x + 3)2

Answer 1

Answer

x^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

B) y = x2 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you have a function y = f(x), you can do these following operations on the function:

Shift up a units: $y = f(x) + a$

Shift down a units: $y = f(x) - a$

Shift left a units: $y = f(x + a)$

Shift right a units: $y = f(x - a)$

So the correct answer for this question is:

B) y = x2 - 3
