Question

Describe the transformations of the graph f(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5

Answer 1

• Horizontal translation right 2 units

,

• Vertical Translation down 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parent function x²

If we translate the parent function by a horizontal translation right 2 units, we have:

`(x-2)^2`

If we carry out a Vertical Translation down 5 units, we then have:

`f(x)=(x-2)^2-5`
