Question

to shift the graph of an equation some numbers of units to the ___, you add that number to each graph

Answer 1

When you transform a function by writing

$f(x)\mapsto f(x+h)$

You're translating the function horizontally, h units to to the left if h is positive, and h units to the right if h is negative.

So, for example, given the "standard" parabola $f(x)=x^2$

We have that the child function $f(x+3) = (x+3)^2$ has the same shape, but it's translated 3 units to the left.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = f(x), then

y = f(x ± a) is a horizontal translation of a units

• If f(x + a) then shift of a units left ←

• If f(x - a) then shift of a units right →
