    Thank you very much, professor dave. I’m watching a bunch of these videos to help me with my Algebra 1 class, as my teacher (and most US schools tbh) just teach “this is the formula, solve now” and not the actual concept in a way that’s easy to understand. Your videos make it a whole lot easier to grasp the concept of what all the x^2 stuff actually is doing to the function, and even made clearer what a function *is* .

    Good video. I've read the order of operations matter when transforming functions. First we do the innermost parenthesis (horizontal shift) , then the horizontal/vertical stretches, and then the vertical shift. f(x) = -2(x - 3) ^2 +4 worked the way you did it, but there are cases where it won't.

      That's correct. Think of the minus sign in (x-h) being part of the original form (like a formula). If h is positive, you have (x-h). If h is negative, you have (x-(-h)), which becomes (x+h).

      It's not a typo. It's because it says x - h. The sign is not included (if it was, it would say x + h). That means that a positive h, which is then inverted, produces a shift to the right. Hopefully that was clear.

      @ArthasFB 2 роки тому +2

      @@elhadjitalla3054 The video says x + 2 generates a shift to the left. That is, x plus a positive number. The same way, x - 2 generates a shift to the right. That is, x plus a negative number (or minus a positive number).
      You can express that as x + h where if h is positive, it shifts to the left and if h is negative, it shifts to the right. In the example, h is 2.
      But it is easier to remember if h being positive generates a shift to the right. For that, we can flip the sign of h (x - h). This means if we plug a positive number in h, let's say 3, it gives x - 3 and so the shift is to the right. Notice that the sign is not part of h. For a negative value, - 3, it gives x - (-3) = x + 3 and so it is a shift to the left.

    Professor Dave, the summary page at the ending of the video is incorrect for the horizontal shift. When it's a positive h, you shift left, not right. And when it's a negative h, you shift right; not left.
    Please read this guys!

      You’re confusing the sign on the term with the sign already present in the binomial. The video is correct.
