Writing equations as functions in the form \(f(x)\) is useful when applying translations and reflections to graphs. If \(f(x) = x^2\), then \(f(x) + a = x^2 + a\). Here we are adding \(a\) to the ...

The graph of \(f(x) = x^2\) is the same as the graph of \(y = x^2\). Writing graphs as functions in the form \(f(x)\) is useful when applying translations and reflections to graphs. If \(f(x ...
