Question

If you shift the quadratic function f(x) = x^2, right 12 units, what is the equation of the new function

Answer 1

F(x)= (x-12)^2
This is because you move a fraction to the left or right by adding or subtracting from x

Answer 2

Explanation:

Right is into positive territory.

y = x^2

Going right into positive territory means that the function becomes

y = (x - 12)^2

You need the value that will make x - 12 = 0. That number is 12.
