Question

41. How would the graph of the function

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The graph would shift 5 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the change:

Before the change, the function was given by:

$y = x^2 - 3$

After the change:

After the change, the function was given by:

$y = x^2 + 2$

Considering the function as it was before the change, it can also be written as:

$y = x^2 - 3 + 5$

Which means that 5 was added to the function, and when a number n is added to a function, there function is shifted n units up. So the correct answer to this problem is given by option B.
