Question 4 of 5
Select the correct answer.
Function m is a transformation of the parent quadratic function, f(x) = x2.
m(x) = x2 + 5
Which statement is true?
Function f was translated 5 units up to create function m.
Function f was translated 5 units left to create function m.

Answer 1

5 units up.

Explanation:

So, we originally had:

`f(x)=x^2`

And it became:

`m(x)=x^2+5`

Since we added 5 to the function, this represents an upwards shift. So, the function is shifted upwards by 5.

Notes:

If the function was shifted five units to the left, then the new equation would be:

`m(x)=(x+5)^2`
