a. left 3 units, down 1 unit
b. left 3 units, up 1 unit
c. right 3 units, down 1 unit 
d. right 3 units, up 1 unit

Respuesta :

Answer:

cc

Step-by-step explanation:

correct


We obtain our desired quadratic graph by shifting y = x²  3 units right, and then shifting it 1 unit down in the coordinate plane.

What is a quadratic function?

Quadratic equations are the polynomial equations of degree 2 in one variable of type f(x) = ax² + bx + c where a, b, c, ∈ R and a ≠ 0. It is the general form of a quadratic equation where 'a' is called the leading coefficient and 'c' is called the absolute term of f (x).

What is the graph of a quadratic function?

The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola and has a curved shape. One of the main points of a parabola is its vertex.

What is shifting of graph?

A shift is a rigid translation in that it does not change the shape or size of the graph of the function.

The quadratic equation y = x²  is given.

Our desired quadratic equation is y = (x - 2)² - 1

If we shift the graph of the given quadratic equation by three units right we will have to replace x by x -3.

So, our equation would change the form to the following quadratic equation

y= (x - 3)² ... (1)

If we shift the graph of quadratic equation 1 by one units down we will have to replace x by x - 1. So, our quadratic equation would change the form to the following equation

y = (x - 3)² + 1

This is

Hence the correct option is a.
