Quadratic Transformations

In the vertex form f(x) = a(x - h)² + k , what does the 'a' value do?

• Shifts the function left or right

• Changing 'a' value has no affect on the parent function

• Vertical stretch or compression

• Shifts the function up or down

In the vertex form f(x) = a(x - h)² + k , what does the 'h' value do?

• Shifts the function left or right

• Reflection over the x-axis

• Vertical stretch or compression

• Shifts the function up or down

In the vertex form f(x) = a(x - h)² + k , what does the 'k' value do?

• Shifts the function left or right

• Reflects over the x-axis

• Vertical stretch or compression

• Shifts the function up or down

How did we transform from the parent function?
y = x² + 2

• horizontal shift up
• vertical shift up
• horizontal shift down
• vertical shift down

How did we transform from y=x^2?

y = -3x²

• vertical reflection and vertical shift down

• vertical reflection and vertical stretch

• horizontal stretch

• vertical reflection and vertical compression

Given f(x) = -x² , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left

• Reflection over the x-axis

• Vertical shift down

• Vertical compression

Given f(x) = (x + 3)² , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left 3

• Vertical shift up 3

• Horizontal shift right 3

• Vertical shift down 3

Given f(x) = x² - 4 , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left 4

• Vertical shift up 4

• Horizontal shift right 4

• Vertical shift down 4

Given f(x) = (x + 6)² - 2 , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left 6, vertical shift up 2

• Horizontal shift left 6, vertical shift down 2

• Horizontal shift right 6, vertical shift down 2

• Horizontal shift right 6, vertical shift up 2

If the blue is f(x)=x^2, the red must be

• g(x)=(x+3)²
• g(x)=(x-3)²
• g(x)=x²+3
• g(x)=x²-2
