Question

Which steps transform the graph of y=x^2 to y=-(x-3)^2+2

Answer 1

Answer:

reflection over the x-axis

shifted 3 right

shifted 2 up

Step-by-step explanation:

This function is quadratic. Quadratic graphs are written as y=a(x-h)^2+k. Where a is a non-zero number that affects the vertical appearance of the graph, h is the horizontal placement, and k is the vertical placement.

When a is negative then, the graph has been reflected over the x-axis. This makes it look like it has been turned upside down. The variable h affects how the x-values are shifted. In this equation, h looks negative but it is actually positive because if you look at the formula, h is being subtracted. Positive h values move the graph right. So, the graph is shifted 3 units to the right. Finally, k does the same thing as h but on the vertical (y) axis. So, +2 makes the graph shift 2 units up.
