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:** \( y = f(x) = x^2 \)

2. **Transformed Function:** \( y = f(x) + 4 = x^2 + 4 \)

### Graph Overview:
- The graph of \( y = x^2 \) is a parabola opening upwards with its vertex at (0,0).
- The graph of \( y = x^2 + 4 \) is the same parabola, but shifted **upwards** by 4 units, with its vertex at (0,4).

### Labels:
- **Curve 1:** \( y = x^2 \)
- **Curve 2:** \( y = x^2 + 4 \)
