How simple algebraic tweaks move entire mathematical landscapes
In short: Understand how adding or subtracting values from a function acts as a set of instructions for moving its graph. This video explains the mechanics of vertical and horizontal shifts in Algebra 2.
The video demonstrates how the equation y = f(x) + k results in a vertical shift: the graph moves up if k is positive and down if k is negative.
