Question

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = 6x2 to the graph of y = 6(x + 1)2?

6 unit left
6 unit right
1 unit left
1 unit right

Answer 1

1 unit left, because what's inside the bracket with a plus sign goes left and if with a minus sign goes to right. 

Answer 2

we know that

The vertex of the graph
`y=6x^(2)` is the point
`(0,0)`

The vertex of the graph
`y=6(x+1)^(2)` is the point
`(-1,0)`

so

the rule of the translation is

`(x,y)------> (x-1,y)`

That means

one unit to the left

therefore

the answer is the option

1 unit left
