Question

The graph of the function y=x^2 is reflected across the x-axis, then translated 2 units left and 6 units down. Choose the correct equation that representsthe new function.

Answer 1

we use the original function to start

`y=x^2`

if we want to move to left we sum directly to the variable the number of units t

then 2 units left is

`y=(x+2)^2`

if we want to move to down we subtract the number of units to whole expression

then 6 units down

`y=(x+2)^2-6`
