3.2 Exercise 86

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 \left(x\right) = x^{2} , f \left(x\right) = x^{2} + 2 and f(x)= x 2 ,f(x)= x 2 +5 f \left(x\right) = x^{2} , f \left(x\right) = x^{2} + 5 and f(x)= x 2 −3. f \left(x\right) = x^{2} - 3. What appears to be the effect of adding a constant?
