describe what happens to the graph of y=X^2 in the following situations.
a. y is replaced with (y+1)
b. x is replaced with(x-5)
c.x is replaced with (x+3)
d.y is replaced with (y-6)
i have no clue how to do this can you please help me?
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with these transformations! To understand what happens to the graph of y = X^2 in each situation, we need to apply the given transformations to the original equation and observe the changes.
a. When y is replaced with (y+1), it means that the entire graph is shifted upward by 1 unit. This is because for every y-coordinate in the original graph, we add 1 to obtain the corresponding y-coordinate in the transformed graph.
b. When x is replaced with (x-5), it means that the entire graph is shifted 5 units to the right. This is because for every x-coordinate in the original graph, we subtract 5 to obtain the corresponding x-coordinate in the transformed graph.
c. When x is replaced with (x+3), it means that the entire graph is shifted 3 units to the left. This is because for every x-coordinate in the original graph, we add 3 to obtain the corresponding x-coordinate in the transformed graph.
d. When y is replaced with (y-6), it means that the entire graph is shifted downward by 6 units. This is because for every y-coordinate in the original graph, we subtract 6 to obtain the corresponding y-coordinate in the transformed graph.
To visualize these transformations, it can be helpful to sketch the original graph of y = X^2 on a coordinate plane (a simple parabola opening upwards). Then, apply each of the transformations one by one to observe how the graph moves.
Additionally, if you have access to graphing software or online graphing tools, you can input the transformed equations to see immediate visualizations of the changes.
