| Question 108601:  How would I answer these problems I am really stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
 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?
 a)
  (Cannot copy and paste this graph)for this parablola 
 Answer: g(x) = (x + 1)^2 – 3 (vertical shift down 3 units) Y = X^2 - 3
 Is this right???
 b)
  x , y, axis U shape goes right over 4 on the x axis 
 Answer: g(x) = (x – 4)^2 (horizontal shift right 4 units) Is this right???
 
 
 3)	Consider the following graph of y = f(x).
 
 a)	If h(x) = f(x) + 2, what would the new coordinates of P be after the shift?  Give answer in (x, y) form.
 Answer:
 
 b)	If  , what would the new coordinates of P be after the reflection?  Give answer in (x, y) form.
 Answer:
 
 4)	Consider the function: f(x)= x^2+ 4x + 1
 a)	Find h, the x-coordinate of the vertex of this parabola.
 Answer:
 Show your work here:
 b)	Substitute the two whole number values immediately to the left and right of h into the function to find the corresponding y.  Fill in the following table. Make sure your x-values are in increasing order in your table.
 Answer:
 x	y
 
 
 h =__
 
 
 c)	Use MS Excel to graph the function by plotting the points found in the table in part b.
 Answer:
 5)	Find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes of the following. Type none if the function does not have an asymptote.
 a)f(x)= 2x+3/x+2
 Answer:
 Horizontal:
 Vertical:
 b)g(x)= 5x/x^2+1
 Answer:
 Horizontal:

You can put this solution on YOUR website! How would I answer these problems I am really stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 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?
 a)g(x) = (x + 1)^2 – 3
 The (x+1) moves each point of y=x^2 one to the left
 The -3 moves the result of the 1st move down three.
 
  graph(400,300,-10,10,-10,10,(x+1)^2-3 ------------------------------
 
 Answer: b)  x , y, axis U shape goes right over 4 on the x axis
 Answer: g(x) = (x – 4)^2 (horizontal shift right 4 units) Is this right???
 Yes, that is correct.
 -----------------------------------
 3) Consider the following graph of y = f(x).
 a) If h(x) = f(x) + 2, what would the new coordinates of P be after the shift? Give answer in (x, y) form.
 Answer: (x, f(x)+2)
 ------------------------
 
 b) If , what would the new coordinates of P be after the reflection? Give answer in (x, y) form.
 Answer: That depends on what line you reflect in:
 If you reflect in the y-axis the answer is (-x,h(x))
 If you reflect in the x-axis the anser is (x,-h(x))
 ---------------------------------
 4) Consider the function: f(x)= x^2+ 4x + 1
 a) Find h, the x-coordinate of the vertex of this parabola.
 Answer: (-2,-3)
 Show your work here:
 Complete the square on the x-terms:
 x^2+4x +? = f(x)-1+?
 x^2+4x+4 = f(x)+3
 (x+2)^2 = f(x)+3
 -----------------------------
 
 b) Substitute the two whole number values immediately to the left and right of h into the function to find the corresponding y. Fill in the following table. Make sure your x-values are in increasing order in your table.
 Answer:
 f(x)= x^2+ 4x + 1
 x y
 If x = -4, y = 16-16+1 = 1
 If x = -3, y = 9-12+1 = -2
 If x = -1, y = 1-4+1 = -2
 If x = 0, y = 0+0+1 = 1
 h =__
 =====================
 c) Use MS Excel to graph the function by plotting the points found in the table in part b.
 Answer:
 I'll leave that to you.
 ------------------------------
 5) Find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes of the following. Type none if the function does not have an asymptote.
 a)f(x)= 2x+3/x+2
 Answer:
 Horizontal:y = 2x/x = 2
 Vertical: x = -2
 ------------------
 b)g(x)= 5x/x^2+1
 Answer:
 Horizontal: y = 0x^2/x^2 = 0
 Vertical: none since x^2+1 cannot be zero
 ---------------------
 c)
 Answer:
 Horizontal:
 Vertical:
 d)
 Answer:
 Horizontal:
 Vertical:
