Question

Describe the transformations of the graph f(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5

Answer 1

Answer:

• Horizontal translation right 2 units

,

• Vertical Translation down 5 units

Explanation:

Given the parent function x²

If we translate the parent function by a horizontal translation right 2 units, we have:

$(x-2)^2$

If we carry out a Vertical Translation down 5 units, we then have:

$f(x)=(x-2)^2-5$
