FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you shift a function downward by 2 units?
Back
To shift a function downward by 2 units, subtract 2 from the function. For example, if f(x) is the original function, the new function will be f(x) - 2.

What does it mean to shift a function to the right by 3 units?
Back
Shifting a function to the right by 3 units means replacing x with (x - 3) in the function. For example, if f(x) is the original function, the new function will be f(x - 3).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the graph of f(x) = x^2 + 5 differ from the parent function?
Back
The graph of f(x) = x^2 + 5 is the same as the parent function but shifted vertically upward by 5 units.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What transformation does g(x) = (x - 3)^2 represent compared to f(x) = x^2?
Back
The transformation g(x) = (x - 3)^2 represents a horizontal shift to the right by 3 units compared to the parent function f(x) = x^2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the effect of a negative sign in front of a function, such as in f(x) = -x^2?
Back
A negative sign in front of a function reflects the graph across the x-axis. For example, f(x) = -x^2 is a downward-opening parabola.
