  • Now that we know the basics regarding graphing algebraic functions, it's time to learn some tricks that will come in handy as we graph different kinds of functions. Specifically, there are terms inside functions that do very predictable things to graphs, and if we learn what these are, we can look at certain functions and quickly graph them without making any tables, even functions that look super difficult. Who doesn't like a shortcut? Check this out!

But in either way this UA-camr is really well at lecturing so I'd rather to spend time with him even though he charges in the future.

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* .

      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 Рік 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.

      So it's just that you're not considering the subtraction, if h is positive, then you subtract positive h and you get minus h. If h is negative, you subtract negative h and you get plus h. When I'm listing the sign of h, I'm not considering the subtraction sign.

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains Oh I get it, that is why you specifically noted (x-h), that is the positive h shifting right compared to (x-(-h)) being the negative h which would shift left. Correct?
