The graph of y=x2y = x^2 is shifted 2 right and 4 down. What is the new equation?

  • A

    y=(x2)2+4y = (x-2)^2 + 4

  • B

    y=(x+2)24y = (x+2)^2 - 4

  • C

    y=(x2)24y = (x-2)^2 - 4

    check_circle
  • D

    y=(x+2)2+4y = (x+2)^2 + 4

Explanation

Right by 2: replace xx with x2x-2. Down by 4: subtract 4. y=(x2)24y = (x-2)^2 - 4.
