Respuesta :

if the constant is represented by 'c' then 
it shifts the graph upwards 'c' units ( shifts down if you subtract ) 

eg... if the function is y = x² then adding a constant would be y = x² + 5 

so the original function would be shifted upwards by 5 units in this case.

The addition of a constant to a function will change its position in the cartesian plane. It can shift upwards or downwards based on the sign of the constant.

Let a function be [tex]f(x)=3x^2[/tex].

Now, it is required to find what will happen if we add a constant to the function.

Let c be the constant.

The function is a parabola opening upwards.

Now, if the value of c is positive, then the graph of the function will shift upwards by c units and nothing will change. If the constant is negative, then the graph of the function will shift downwards by c units.

Therefore, the addition of a constant to a function will change its position in the cartesian plane. It can shift upwards or downwards based on the sign of the constant.
