Step 1
given:
the function y=|x|2
Step 2
as we know that if we have function y=f(x) then the equation of the function shifted at (h,k) is given by:
yk=f(xh)
the function y=|x|2 can be rewritten as:
y=|x|2
y+2=|x|
y(2)=|x|
by comparing the equation obtained above with the equation y-k=f(x-h) it can be seen that
h=0
and k=-2
therefore it is the equation of the function y=|x| which is shifted at (0,-2).
Step 3
therefore the graph of the function y=|x|2 can be drawn by shifting the graph of the function y=|x| at (0,-2).
