Q. The parabola y=x2 is shifted up by 7 units and to the left by 1 unit.What is the equation of the new parabola?y=□
Shift up by 7 units: To shift the parabola y=x2 up by 7 units, we add 7 to the y-value of the original equation. This gives us a new equation y=x2+7.
Shift left by 1 unit: To shift the parabola to the left by 1 unit, we replace x with (x+1) in the equation. This is because moving to the left on the x-axis means increasing the x-value by 1. The new equation becomes y=(x+1)2+7.
