Question

Use shifts and scalings to graph the given function. The

p(x)= x² + 2x - 6
What is the original function?
y =
(Type an expression. Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

x^2+2x

Explanation:

This function was shifted down 6 units.

It does not seem like this function was shifted horizontally since the x value is not being subtracted nor added inside the parentheses. Therefore, the original function would just be p(x) + 6, which would give us x^2+2x.
