Question

The function P(x)=(x+3)^2+2 write a new function after a translation of 2 units up.

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+3)^2+4 or x^2+6x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

The number in the parenthesis means the translation from the original left or right. The second number (outside of the parenthesis, in this case 2), is the translation from the original up or down. So, if the question were shift the graph of this function two units down, then the second number would decrease by 2. However, because the equation is shift the graph up 2 units, then you would add 2 to the second number. Same thing with the number inside of the parenthesis.
