The function f(x)=x^2-3x-4is graphed on the coordinate plane. Consider f(x-3) Which option correctly describes the transformations to the graph?

Question

Answers could be A. Up 3 B. down 3 C. Left 3 D. Right 3

 

Answer 1

The graph is shifted 3 units to the right (Answer D).  Here is the rule to remember:

 

If b > 0, f(x - b) is shifted b units to the right, and f(x + b) is shifted b units to the left.
