Parent function: \"y+=+root%283%2Cx%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(More) General form: \"y+=+root%283%2Cx-h%29%2Bk\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The h shifts it left/right
\n" ); document.write( "The k shifts it up/down\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h = 5, which is positive, so we go 5 units to the right
\n" ); document.write( "k = 2, which is positive, so we go 2 units up\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so we go from \"y+=+root%283%2Cx%29\" to \"y+=+root%283%2Cx-5%29%2B2\" after we plug in h and k.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graph:

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In the graph above, \"y+=+root%283%2Cx%29\" is the red curve and \"y+=+root%283%2Cx-5%29%2B2\" is the blue curve. Notice how everything (in particular, the point (0,0)) has been shifted 5 units right, 2 units up.
