Quadratic Transformations

What is the vertex form of a quadratic function?

• f(x) = 2a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = (x + h)² + k

• f(x) = a(x - h) - k

What is the axis of symmetry in a function?

• The transformation of the graph

• The vertex, represented by (h,k)

• A vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in half

• y = h
