Question: Given the graph of $y = f(x)$, shown as a red dashed curve, drag the movable blue point to obtain the graph of $y = f(x - 3) + 1$.
1. The problem asks to transform the graph of $y = f(x)$ to the graph of $y = f(x - 3) + 1$. 2. The formula for horizontal and vertical shifts is: - Horizontal shift: $y = f(x - h)$ shifts the graph $h$ units to the right. - Vertical shift: $y = f(x) + k$ shifts the graph $k$ units up. 3. Here, $y = f(x - 3) + 1$ means: - Shift the graph of $f(x)$ horizontally to the right by $3$ units. - Then shift it vertically up by $1$ unit. 4. The original red dashed graph has its vertex at the origin $(0,0)$. 5. After shifting right by $3$, the vertex moves to $(3,0)$. 6. After shifting up by $1$, the vertex moves to $(3,1)$. 7. Therefore, the blue solid graph should have its vertex at $(3,1)$. 8. The shape of the graph remains the same (V-shaped, opening upward). Final answer: The blue graph is the red graph shifted right by $3$ units and up by $1$ unit, with vertex at $(3,1)$.
