Q. The parabola y=x2 is shifted up by 2 units and to the right by 3 units.What is the equation of the new parabola?y=□
Apply Transformations: To find the equation of the new parabola, we need to apply the transformations to the original equation y=x2. Shifting a graph up by k units adds k to the y-value of the function. Shifting a graph to the right by h units subtracts h from the x-value inside the function.
Shift Up by 2: First, we shift the parabola up by 2 units. This means we add 2 to the original function f(x)=x2. The new function after this shift is g(x)=x2+2.
Shift Right by 3: Next, we shift the parabola to the right by 3 units. This means we replace x with (x−3) in the function g(x). The new function after this shift is h(x)=(x−3)2+2.
Final Equation: Now we have the final equation of the new parabola after applying both transformations. The equation is h(x)=(x−3)2+2.
