Work Step by Step

$P(x) = x^4 + c$ c = -1, 0, 1, 2 The question asks to explain how the value of c affects the graph. As c increases, the graph is shifted up more. As c decreases, the graph is shifted down more. When c is negative, the graph is shifted c units down. When c is positive, the graph is shifted c units up.
