Given the parent function p(x)=x², which phrase best describes the transformation used to obtain the graph of g(x)=(x+a)²-b, if a and b are both positive constants? A) right a units, up b units
B) right a units, down b units
C) left a units, up b units
D) left a units, down b units

D) left a units, down b units

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes close to x, affect the horizontal, left/right movement (but sort of the opposite direction than you would expect + left move and - right move)

A number tacked on to the end of the equation moves the curve up or down as you would guess (+ up and - down)

the answer is c)8

step-by-step explanaction:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
