Stuck on these….

The general vertex form of an equation is y= a(x-h)^2+k where h is the horizontal shift and k is the vertical shift. The a is stretch/compress. Viewing the graph you don't have to deal with a you just have to focus on h and k

#

y=x^2 is the parent function

Horizontally

wary peak
#

Correct. Now does it move to the left or to the right?

civic spade
#

left

wary peak
#

How many units?

civic spade
#

-3 units

#

y=(x+3)?

wary peak
#

Yes!!!

#

Hold on

civic spade
#

its saying incorrect unfortunately

wary peak
#

You forgot the ^2

civic spade
#

after the parenthesis?

wary peak
#

y=(x+3)^2

civic spade
#

and for b since its moving up 1 unit and thats it im a little confused on how to write it

wary peak
#

Since h is 0 then look at k. k=1 and x^2 is the form of a quadratic function that gives the U shape

#

x^2+1

#

got it and it makes sense, thank you so much!
