Question 1070431: Consider the parent quadratic function f(x) = x2. Give the equation of a function that represents a horizontal translation of the parent, that is, it has moved right or left. (Many correct examples are possible.) Then give the equation of a function that represents a vertical translation of the parent, that is, it has moved up or down. (Many correct examples are possible.) Finally, give the equation of a reflection of the parent across the x-axis. (Only one correct answer exists.)
