Thread: algebra and trigonometry with analytic geometry problem

Explain how the graph of y-5=(x-3)^2 can be obtained from the graph of y=x^2. My answer is Shift the graph of y=x^2 right 3 units and up 5 units, but I'm not sure if that is right. Thanks for looking it over with me.

You're completely correct.
