1.6 Exploring Transformations of Parent

Functions
Part 1 : Vertical Translation (Shift up/down)
Study the graphs below and their corresponding equations.
y = |x| + 3
y = √x + 4

y = √x y = |x|

y = √x - 7
y = |x| - 8

Example 1: The function y = f(x) is given. Describe how the

graph of each function can be obtained from y = f(x).
