Question

How is the graph of y=5x^2-4 different from the graph of y=5x^2?

It is shifted 4 units to the right.

It is shifted 4 units to the left.

It is shifted 4 units up.

It is shifted 4 units down

Answer 1

itnis shifted 4 units left

Answer 2

It is shifted 4 units down.

Explanation:

We will take point (coordinate start) O ( 0,0)

when we replace x = 0 in the function

y = 5x² = 5 · 0 = 0

we get value of the function y = 0

when we replace x = 0 in the function

y = 5x² - 4 = 5 · 0 - 4 = - 4

we get value of the function y = - 4

It is shifted 4 units down.

God with you!!!
