Describe how the graph of y =x^2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation y=x^2+9 Shift the graph of y=x^2 left 9 units

Shift the graph of y=x^2 right 9 units

Shift the graph of y=x^2 down 9 units

Shift the graph of y =x^2 up 9 units

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

lockers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 40, and 49 are open
