Question

What value represents the vertical translation from the graph of the parent function f(x)=x² to the graph of the

function g(x)=(x+5)2+3?
-5
-3
3

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

A algebraic transformation is represented by

`a(bx - h) + k`

where a is the vertical compression or stretch. a is also the vertical reflection if value is negative . B is the horizontal compression or stretch it is also a horizontal reflection if it value is negative. h is the horizontal shift. And k is the vertical shift.

3 replaces k in this scenario for the vertical translation so 3 is the answer.
