Describe the translation of the graph of y = x2 that results in the graph of y = (x - 3)2.

left 3 units
right 3 units
down 3 units
up 3 units

Respuesta :

Right 3 units is right out of the options given

Answer:

Shift right by 3 units.

Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is given by [tex]y=x^2[/tex]

The translated function is [tex]y=(x-3)^2[/tex]

The transformation rule is:

When we subtract some constant "c" to the x values of the function f(x) then the graph will shift right by "c" units. And the transformation function would be f(x-c).

Now, here 3 is subtracted in the x value of the parent function   [tex]y=x^2[/tex] to get the function [tex]y=(x-3)^2[/tex]

Therefore, the graph of the transformation function would shift right by 3 units.

We can see it in the attached graph as well. The vertex of the parabola [tex]y=x^2[/tex] is at (0,0) and the vertex of the parabola  [tex]y=(x-3)^2[/tex] is at (3,0).

It means that graph has shifted 3 units to the right.

Second option is correct.
