(x-6)^2-y=0 Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "Describe the change" means what it literally means; it is not the same as solving. To change y = x^2 to y = (x-6)^2, you would shift the first equation to the right six units (not left). This is because the vertex of the new parabola occurs at x=6.
The red graph is y = x^2, the green graph is y = (x-6)^2:
