Consider the function y=x^2+5x-2 . What would happen to the graph if (x -1) was substituted in place of the x?

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

f(x - c) shift the function c units to the right.

In this case, if (x - 1) was substituted in place of the x, the graph would shift 1 unit to the right.

If you want to graph the new function and know the graph of the previous one, this relationship avoids you the substitution of (x - 1) into the function and expansion of the expression to obtain a new quadratic formula.
