how to do this?
take the graph of the function
f(x) = (x - 2)^2,
translate it two units to the right, and write the equation of the new graph.
how do i do that?
they gave me two graphs:/

Re: how to do this?
You just need to draw the graph of (x-2)² and then draw another graph identical to that but to the right.
Then you need to say what the equation of the new graph is. If the graph is shifted to the right, then to get it back to the original graph you need to take away 2 from x.
So then you have ((x-2)-2)², which is (x-4)².
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
