STEP - BY STEP EXPLANATION
What to find?
Equation for a quadratic equation.
Given:
Shifts 8 unit to the left.
4 units down
Step 1
Note the following :
• The parent function of a quadratic equation in general form is given by;
[tex]y=x^2[/tex]
• If f(x) shifts q-units left, the f(x) becomes, f(x+q)
,
• If f(x) shift m-units down, then the new function is, f(x) -m
Step 2
Apply the rules to the parent function.
8 units to the left implies q=8
4 units down implies m= 4
[tex]y=(x+8)^2-4[/tex]
ANSWER
y= (x+8)²- 4
