The function f(x)=x^2 and its transformation f(x)=(x-k)^2 are shown below. what is the value of k?

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + n - shift the graph n units up

f(x) - n - shift the graph n units down

f(x - n) - shift the graph n units to the right

f(x + n) - shift the graph n units to the left

==============================================

Look at the picture.

The graph has been shifted 5 units to the right.

Therefore we have f(x - 5).

because they could drop even lower..

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

p.s.   i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!
