If g(x) = 4x2 - 16 were shifted 9 units to the right and 1 down, what would the new equation be? A. h(x) = 4(x + 9)2 – 17
B. h(x) = 4(x – 9)2 – 17
C. h(x) = 4(x = 17)2 - 9
D. h(x) = 4(x - 7)2 + 16

Shifting right is a little bit tricky. To shift right, you have to do the opposite of what you would do on the number line. The x has to become x - 9 because the x value (you will learn later) is part of a distance and distances always subtract one from the other.

The wrong way to do it is in answer A.

B is the correct answer

h(x) = 4(x - 9)^2 - 17

If g(x) = 4x2 - 16 were shifted 9 units to the right and 1 down, what would the new equation be? A. h(x) = 4(x + 9)2 – 17 B. h(x) = 4(x – 9)2 – 17 C. h(x) = 4(x = 17)2 - 9 D. h(x) = 4(x - 7)2 + 16​
