검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the base function: recognize that the given function is a quadratic function in vertex form, which is \(f(x) = (x - h)^2 + k\), where \((h, k)\) is the vertex of the parabola.

Determine the vertex of the parabola from the function \(f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 3\). Here, \(h = 4\) and \(k = -3\), so the vertex is at the point \((4, -3)\).

Analyze the direction of the parabola: since the coefficient of the squared term is positive (1), the parabola opens upwards.

Consider the axis of symmetry, which is the vertical line passing through the vertex, given by \(x = 4\).

Use this information to match the function to its graph by looking for a parabola with vertex at \((4, -3)\), opening upwards, and symmetric about the line \(x = 4\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Vertex Form of a Quadratic Function

The vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. This form makes it easy to identify the vertex and understand the graph's shifts from the origin. In the given function, (4, -3) is the vertex, indicating a horizontal shift right by 4 and a vertical shift down by 3.

Graphing Parabolas

Parabolas are U-shaped graphs of quadratic functions. The sign of 'a' determines if the parabola opens upward (a > 0) or downward (a < 0). The vertex is the minimum or maximum point, and the axis of symmetry passes through the vertex. Understanding these features helps match the function to its graph without a calculator.

Effect of Transformations on Graphs

Transformations such as translations shift the graph horizontally or vertically without changing its shape. For f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 3, subtracting 4 inside the squared term shifts the graph right by 4 units, and subtracting 3 outside shifts it down by 3 units. Recognizing these shifts aids in visualizing the graph accurately.
