Question

The parent function is f(x) = x^2.
The value of k is 4.

On
 a graph, put down y = f(x) and y = f(x) +/= k for your
 parent function and chosen value of k. Be sure to clearly label each sketch.

Answer very simply and shortly.

Answer 1

1. **Parent Function**: \( y = f(x) = x^2 \) (a parabola opening upwards)

2. **Transformed Function**: \( y = f(x) + 4 \) (shifts the parabola up by 4 units)

**Graph Labels**:
- **Curve 1**: \( y = x^2 \) (original parabola)
- **Curve 2**: \( y = x^2 + 4 \) (parabola shifted up)
