Which equation below will shift the graph of the parent function y=x2

Question

up 4 units?(1 point)
Responses

y=(x−4)2
y is equal to open paren x minus 4 close paren squared

y=(x+4)2
y is equal to open paren x plus 4 close paren squared

y=x2+4
y is equal to x squared plus 4

y=4x2

Answer 1

To shift the graph of the parent function \( y = x^2 \) up by 4 units, you need to add 4 to the entire function. Therefore, the correct equation is:

\[ y = x^2 + 4 \]

So the answer is:

y = x² + 4
