Final answer:
The graph of y=x² is shifted up 2 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of y=x² is the graph of a shifted calculator. To identify the shift, we can compare the equation y=x² with the standard form of a parabola, y=a(x-h) ²+k. In the standard form, the values of h and k represent the horizontal and vertical shifts, respectively. For the equation y=x², we can see that there is no value added or subtracted to the x² term, which means there is no horizontal shift (option A and B can be eliminated). However, the graph is shifted upward 2 units because there is a vertical shift of +2 (option C). Therefore, the correct answer is C) Up 2 units.
