Front

How do we transform the parent function f(x) = x² to f(x) = -x²?

Back

Reflection over the x-axis.

Front

What is the effect of the coefficient 'a' in the vertex form f(x) = a(x-h)² + k?

Back

It determines the vertical stretch or compression and the direction of the parabola.

Front

What does the term (x-h) represent in the vertex form of a quadratic function?

Back

It represents a horizontal shift of the graph h units to the right.
