5.1 Exercise 73

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use a calculator to find the answer.

Graph on the same set of axes f(x)= x 2 ,f(x)= (x−2) 2 ,f (x−3) 2 f \left(x\right) = x^{2} , f \left(x\right) = \left(x - 2\right)^{2} , f \left(x - 3\right)^{2}, and f(x)= (x+4) 2 . f \left(x\right) = \left(x + 4\right)^{2} .

What appears to be the effect of adding or subtracting those numbers?
