Question 92308: Consider the following graph of y = f(x).
If h(x) = f(x) + 2, what would the new coordinates of P be after the shift? Give answer in (x, y) form.
P is located now at x = 1 and y = -1
I'm getting confused with the curve. Everything needs to shift up by 2 but I can't seem to visualize the coordinates.
x = 2
y = -1??

P(1,-1) ~> P(1,1)
The function f(x) shifts 2 vertically, affecting the y-cordinates by positive 2.
Example:
f(x) = x^2 - 2x
h(x) = x^2 - 2x + 2
f(1) = 1^2 - 2 = -1
P(1,-1)
h(1) = 1^2 - 2 + 2 = 1
P(1,1)
