Question

If you shift the quadratic parent function f(x))=x^2 to the right 10 units what is the equation to the new function

A.) g(x)=x^2-10
B.) g(x)=x^2+10
C.)g(x)=(x+10)^2
D.)g(x)=(x-10)^2

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

First of all, you are moving right. That means that something gets added or subtracted from the x

To move right whatever number units you move right, will be subtracted from the x.

A and B are are both wrong. It is really the y that the +/- ten changes.

C is wrong because you are moving left, not right.

D is the answer. It is not intuitive, but it is how how move right.
