| Question 108423:  I need some help with these problems:
 Suppose the graph of y = x^2 is shifted to obtain each the following graphs. What is the equation of the function, g(x), for each graph?
 
 The first graph is a u shape coming down straight in the middle where the vertex is -3 and comes down at -2 and comes up at 2 (I wish I could show you the graph, I can't copy and paste it)
 The second shows again a u shape pattern on the quadrant one side where the vertex comes down at 4.
 
 Here are some more, Consider the following graph of y = f(x). Perhaps if you can draw this graph up cause I'm trying everything and I can't seem to.
 If h(x) = f(x) + 2, what would the new coordinates of P be after the shift?  Give answer in (x, y) form.
 If  , what would the new coordinates of P be after the reflection?  Give answer in (x, y) form.
 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to do a better job of describing your graphs. -------------
 The 1st sounds like a parabola.  If so you need only
 describe how the vertex position changes.
 -------------
 The 2nd is more confusing so I have no suggestion.
