Question

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = 2x2 to the graph of y = 2x2 + 5?

Answer 1

The translation is 5 units up

Explanation:

+5 on the outside means up by 5

Answer 2

5 units up

EXPLANATION

The given function is

`y = 2 {x}^(2)`

The new graph is

`y = 2 {x}^(2) + 5`

The new function is obtained by adding 5 to the original function.

This will shift the graph up by 5 units.

The translation is a vertical shift up by 5 units.
