if the graph of f(x)=x^2 is shifted 4 units to the left, then what would be the equation of the new graph?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Be careful. You can be confused by shifting left or right because the result is the opposite of what you might think.
f(x) = x^2
f(x + 4) = (x + 4)^2
To show you this in graphical form, see below.
Red: f(x) = x^2
Blue: f(x) = (x+4)^2 Notice that the blue graph is the the LEFT of the red graph
