Question

The function f(x) = 2x2 is shifted down 3 units. Which of the following function equations represents this translation?

Answer 1

Answer: f(x) = 2x^2 – 3

Step-by-step explanation: The value c in a quadratic function is what shifts the function up or down along the y-axis. Therefore, when the function is shifted down 3 units, the function will become f(x) = 2x2 – 3.

Answer 2

`f(x) = 2x^2-3`

Explanation:

You are missing information, but the question gives enough information for me to figure it out.

That function shifted down three units is :
`f(x) = 2x^2-3`. If your answer choice is a function, choose this one. If it is a graph, please use a graphing calculator, desmos, or another graphing website to compare it with.
