Horizontal Shifts

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A constant added inside the input shifts the graph horizontally, backward from expectation: g(x) = f(x − h) moves right by h.

Show

g(x) = (x − 2)² is x² slid right 2: the graph's lowest point sits at x = 2, where the inside zeroes.

Watch for

Minus inside means rightward; the sign lies.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
