Q:

Please help me. I don't understand how it is supposed to be done. I'm horrible at math and really need a good grade.Write the equation for the transformation of the graph of y=f(x).Use the form f(x)=a(x-h)+k 13. Translated 2 units left and 7 units down14. Translated 5 unit right, 2 units up, and stretched by a factor of 3.

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:I believe you meant y = f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k.  This is the vertex form of the equation of a vertical parabola (vertex is located at (h, k) ).We start with the simplest vertical parabola, y = x^2.  This parabola has its vertex at the origin, (0, 0).13. Translated 2 units left and 7 units down:  Substitute -7 for k and -2 for h:      y - (-7) = a (x - (-2) )^2, or (in simpler form), y + 7 = a(x + 2)^214. Translated 5 unit right, 2 units up, and stretched by a factor of 3.Substitute 5 for h and 2 for k, and let z = 3:y - 2 = 3(x - 5)^2Please leave out "I'm horrible at math" comments.  Certainly you have the ability to learn this material.
