Static Parabolas - Horizontal Shifting
In the "Input", enter [math]y=x^2[/math]. What do you notice about the graph's vertex?
It is located at the origin, (0,0).
In the next input line, enter [math]y=\left(x-2\right)^2[/math]. How did the graph change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]?
The graph shifted two units to the right.
In the next input line, enter [math]y=\left(x+2\right)^2[/math]. How did the graph change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]?
The graph shifted two units to the left.
Consider [math]y=\left(x-5\right)^2[/math]. How do you think the graph will change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]? Now enter it to see!
The graph will shift five units to the right.
Consider [math]y=\left(x+9\right)^2[/math]. How do you think the graph will change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]? Now enter it to see!
The graph will shift nine units to the left.
