Functions other than parabolas can be translated. When calculating $f(x),$ if we replace $x$ with $x-h,$ where $h$ is a constant, the graph will be moved horizontally. If we replace $f(x)$ with $f(x)+k,$ the graph will be moved vertically. Use the graph below. (GRAPH CANT COPY) Draw a graph of each of the following. $$ y=f(x)+2 $$

Functions other than parabolas can be translated. When calculating $f(x),$ if we replace $x$ with $x-h,$ where $h$ is a constant, the graph will be moved horizontally. If we replace $f(x)$ with $f(x)+k,$ the graph will be moved vertically. Use the graph below. (GRAPH CANT COPY) Draw a graph of each of the following. $$ y=f(x-3)+1 $$

00:01 Alrighty, so this graph right here is f of x, and they want us to fix it so that y equals, let me change my color again here, so it matches, so that y equals, that was weird, f of x plus two...
