Combining Functions

Combining vertical and horizontal shifts

Vertical and horizontal shift: f(x) = x^2 + x (red) and g(x) = (x - 3)^2 + (x - 3) + 5 (blue; f(x) shifted 3 units right and 5 units up)

If is some function, then is the function shifted h units horizontally (to the right for h > 0 and to the left for h < 0) and k units vertically (up for k > 0 and down for k < 0). For example, is the function shifted 3 units to the right and 5 units up. is the function shifted 2 units to the left and 6 units down.
