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

Identify the vertex of f(x) = -2(x+1)² + 3

• (h,k)

• (3, 1)

• (-1,-3)

• (-1,3)

What does the quadratic function that has a vertex of (3,4) look like?

• y = a(x+3)² + 4

• y = a(x-3)² + 4

• y = -a(x+3) - 4

• y = a(x-3)² - 4

What steps transform the graph y = x² to y = 2(x+2)² - 5?
