The video tutorial covers vertical and horizontal translations of functions, focusing on parabolas and square root functions. It explains how adding or subtracting a constant to a function's equation results in moving the graph up, down, left, or right. The tutorial provides general rules for both types of translations, helping students understand how to apply these transformations to various parent functions.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Translations of functions

• Derivatives of functions

• Integrals of functions

• Limits of functions

What is the parent function for parabolas?

• f(x) = √x

• f(x) = x^2

• f(x) = x^3

• f(x) = x

How does adding a constant to a parabola's equation affect its graph?

• It shifts the graph to the left

• It shifts the graph to the right

• It moves the graph up

• It moves the graph down

What is the effect of adding 3 to the function f(x) = x^2?

• The parabola moves down 3 units

• The parabola moves up 3 units

• The parabola shifts left 3 units

• The parabola shifts right 3 units

What is the parent function for square root functions?

• f(x) = x^2

• f(x) = x^3

• f(x) = 1/x

• f(x) = √x

How does adding a constant to a square root function affect its graph?

• It shifts the graph to the left

• It shifts the graph to the right

• It moves the graph down

• It moves the graph up

What happens to the graph of f(x) = √x when 3 is added to it?

• The graph moves down 3 units

• The graph shifts right 3 units

• The graph moves up 3 units

• The graph shifts left 3 units

What is the effect of adding a constant to the end of a square root function?

• It shifts the graph horizontally

• It shifts the graph vertically

• It reflects the graph

• It rotates the graph

What is the effect of subtracting a constant from the end of a square root function?

• It reflects the graph

• It rotates the graph

• It shifts the graph vertically

• It shifts the graph horizontally

What is the general rule for vertical translations?

• Divide the function by a constant

• Multiply the function by a constant

• Add or subtract a constant to the y-value

• Add or subtract a constant to the x-value
