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

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

Given f(x) = ax² , if 0 < a < 1 , the graph will transform by

• becoming wider or vertically compressed

• becoming narrower or vertically stretched

Given f(x) = ax² , if a > 1 , the graph will transform by

• becoming wider or vertically compressed

• becoming narrower or vertically stretched

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 + 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) = (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

• Vertical compression (wider)

• Vertical stretch (narrower)

• Vertical compression (wider) and reflection over x-axis

• Vertical stretch (narrower) and reflection over x-axis

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

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

• g(x)=x² - 5

• g(x)=x² + 5

• g(x)=(x - 5)²

• g(x)=(x + 5)²
