Question 877710: Determine the equation of g(x) that results from translating the function f(x) = x^2 + 3 upward 6 units.

1. g(x) = (x + 9)^2
2. g(x) = (x + 6)^2 + 3
3. g(x) = x^2 - 3
4. g(x) = x^2 + 9

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
translating up 6 units affects the value of y and leaves the value of x the same.
your selection should be number 4 which is x^2 + 9 from x^2 + 3
the graph of both equations is shown below:
you can see that:
when x = 3, bottom graph is at y = 12 and top graph is at y = 18.
