Transformation of Functions: Translation
Vertical Translation
For any function $f(x)$ and $c>0$, $f(x)+c$ vertically shifts the graph of $f(x)$ upward by $c$ units
and $f(x)-c$ vertically shifts the graph of $f(x)$ downward by $c$ units.
Horizontal Translation
For any function $f(x)$ and $c>0$, $f(x-c)$ horizontally shifts the graph of $f(x)$ right by $c$ units and
$f(x+c)$ horizontally shifts the graph of $f(x)$ left by $c$ units.
Question (1)
Use the graph of the function $f$ to sketch the graph of the following functions.
$\begin{array}{lll}
\text{(a) } g(x) = f(x) + 1 \\\\
\text{(b) } h(x) = f(x)-1 \\\\
\text{(c) } p(x) = f(x-1) \\\\
\text{(d) } F(x) = f(x+2) \\\\
\text{(e) } G(x) = f(x+1) - 2\\\\
\text{(f) } H(x) = f(x-1) + 1
\end{array}$

Question (2)
Draw the graph $f(x) = x^2$. Hence using the transformations of $f(x)$, draw the graph of the following functions.
$\begin{array}{lll}
\text{(a) } g(x) = f(x) + 1 \\\\
\text{(b) } h(x) = f(x) - 3 \\\\
\text{(c) } p(x) = f(x-1) \\\\
\text{(d) } F(x) = f(x+3) \\\\
\text{(e) } G(x) = f(x+1) - 2 \\\\
\text{(f ) } H(x) = f(x-2) + 3
\end{array}$
To sketch the graph of $y=x^2$, we should find some sample points on the graph.
