Question

1.the graph of y = x² is moved five units upward

Answer 1

Answer:

I guess that we want to find the equation for each case.

First, let's define the translations:

Horizontal translation.

For a function f(x), an horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

if N > 0, the translation is to the left

if N < 0, the translation is to the right.

Vertical translation:

For a function f(x), a vertical translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

if N > 0, the translation is upwards

if N < 0, the translation is downwards.

Now that we know these, we can find the equations for each case:

1. the graph of y = x² is moved five units upward

the graph is given by a vertical translation of 5 units upward.

y = x^2 + 5

2 the graph of y = 5x² is moved six units to the left

this is:

y = 5*(x + 6)^2

3: the graph of y = -2x² is moved seven units downward

this is:

y = -2x^2 - 7

4: the graph of y = -x² is moved two units to the left and four units downward

now we have two translations, first 4 units to the left and then 4 units downwards, this gives:

y = -(x + 4)^2 - 4

5: the graph of y = -3x² is moved two units to the right

Remember that to move the graph to the right, we need to have N negative, then:

y = -3(x - 2)^2
