PSAT Math Multiple-Choice Practice Question 592
Question: 592
What will happen to the graph of y = x2 in the xy-plane if it is changed to
y = (x + 8)2 + 4?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) When you add a number to the x-value itself, the function shifts to the left by that number of places. When you add a number to the function as a whole, the function shifts upward by that number of places. Since 8 is added to the x-value itself and 4 is added to the function as a whole, the function shifts to the left 8 units and shifts up 4 units.
