Transformations of Quadratic Functions

Which transformation transforms the graph of
f(x) = x² to the graph of
g(x) = (x + 4)²?

• a vertical translation 4 units up
• a vertical translation 4 units down
• a horizontal translation 4 units to the left
• a horizontal translation 4 units to the right

How did we transform from f(x) =x² 
to
g(x) = -3x²

• reflection in x-axis and vertical shift down
• reflection x-axis and vertical stretch
• horizontal stretch
• reflection x-axis and vertical compression

How did we transform from the parent function?
g(x) = -1/5(x - 1)² + 7

• reflection, vertical compression, horizontal right, vertical up
• vertical compression, horizontal shift left, vertical shift up
• reflection, horizontal shift right, vertical shift down
• no changes were made to y = x²

Match the description to its equation:
moves down 3

• A
• B
• C
• D

In the equation f(x)=5(x+3)²-10 what does the 5 do?

• Vertical stretch by 5
• Horizontal compress by 5
• Reflect
• Move up 5

What is the vertical shift of this equation?
f(x) = -(x + 3)² - 5

• left 5
• right 5
• up 5
• down 5

Does the graph of this equation open up or down? 
f(x) = -(x + 3)² - 5

• up
• down

Which quadratic function is represented by the graph?

• y = 2(x - 4)² + 5
• y = 2(x + 4)² + 5
• y = -2(x - 4)² + 5
• y = -2(x + 4)² + 5

Match the description to its equation.
Stretches by a factor of 3

• A
• B
• C
• D

If the blue graph is
f(x) = x² 
then the red must be...

• g(x) = x² - 5
• g(x) = x² + 5
• g(x) = (x - 5)²
• g(x) = (x + 5)²
