To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch. Parent Function: f ( x ) = x 2 f ( x ) = x 2 Horizontal Shift: Right 5 5 Units Vertical Shift: Up 2 2 Units Reflection about the x-axis: None Reflection about the y-axis: None Vertical Compression or Stretch: None
