Shifting Graphs


Exercises 27–36 tell how many units and in what directions the graphs of the given equations are to be shifted. Give an equation for the shifted graph. Then sketch the original and shifted graphs together, labeling each graph with its equation.


y = −√x Right 3

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the transformation needed: The problem states that the graph of the equation y = -√x needs to be shifted to the right by 3 units.
Understand the effect of shifting: Shifting a graph to the right by 'h' units involves replacing 'x' with '(x - h)' in the equation. Here, h = 3.
Apply the transformation: Replace 'x' with '(x - 3)' in the original equation y = -√x to get the new equation y = -√(x - 3).
Sketch the graphs: Draw the original graph of y = -√x, which is a downward-opening half parabola starting at the origin (0,0). Then, draw the shifted graph of y = -√(x - 3), which starts at the point (3,0) and follows the same shape.
Label the graphs: Clearly label the original graph with the equation y = -√x and the shifted graph with the equation y = -√(x - 3) to distinguish between them.

Graph Shifting

Graph shifting involves moving a graph horizontally or vertically without changing its shape. A horizontal shift occurs when a constant is added or subtracted from the x-variable, moving the graph left or right. For example, y = f(x - 3) shifts the graph of y = f(x) three units to the right.

Square Root Function

The square root function, y = √x, is a basic function in calculus that produces a curve starting at the origin and increasing slowly. It is defined only for x ≥ 0, as the square root of a negative number is not real. Understanding its shape and domain is crucial for graph transformations.

Equation Transformation

Transforming an equation involves modifying its algebraic expression to reflect changes in the graph. For a horizontal shift to the right by 3 units, replace x with (x - 3) in the equation. Thus, y = -√x becomes y = -√(x - 3), representing the shifted graph.
