Say thanks

y = |x| + 2

A V-shaped graph shifted up 2 units

f(x)=(x+3)^2

Parabola shifted 3 units left.

f(x)=√x-6

The square-root function shifted 6 units down

f(x) = |x + 2| - 4

A V-shaped graph shifted left 2 units and down 4 units

y = f(x) + k

The graph of f(x) shifted

up k units if k is positive

down k units if k is negative

y = f(x - h)

The graph of f(x) shifted

left h units if h is negative (might look like y = f(x + h)...)

right h units if h is positive

f(x)=√(x+2)

The graph of the square-root function shifted left 2 units

y = |x - 6| + 1

A V-shaped graph shifted 6 units right and 1 unit up.

f(x)=(x-3)^2 - 5
