Quadratic Transformations (Identify, describe)

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 steps transform the graph y = x² to y = (x-4)²

• Shifted down 4 units

• Shifted left 4 units

• Shifted right 4 units

• Shifted up 4 units

• right 3, down 2

• up 3, left 2

• left 3, up 2

• left 3, down 2

Write a quadratic function in vertex form with vertex (-4, 6) that opens up

• f(x) = -2(x - 4)² + 6

• f(x) = (x + 4)² + 6

• f(x) = -2(x + 4)^{2 + 6}

• f(x) = (x - 4)² + 6

Match the equation to its description.

• Reflected over x-axis and shifted up 4

• Reflected over x-axis and shifted down 4

• Reflected over x-axis and shifted right 4

• Reflected over x-axis and shifted left 4

• Vertical compression by 1/4  (wider)

• Vertical stretch by 1/4 (narrower)

• Vertical compression by 1/4 (wider) and reflection over x-axis

• Vertical stretch by 1/4 (narrower) and reflection over x-axis

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

Which quadratic function below is not reflected down?
