Question

Which function will translate f(x) = x ^ 2 left 5 units and down 1 unit?

a. f(x)=(x+5)^2-1

b. f(x)=(x-1)^2-5

c. f(x)=(x-5)^2+1

d. f(x)=(x-5)^2-1

Answer 1

(x+5)²-1. Inside the parentheses with the function is opposite in sign to what you would expect. plus moves to the negative, minus moves to the positive. Outside the parentheses it moves as expected. plus is up and minus is down.
