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?

• Compress by 2, shifted 2 units left and 5 down

• Stretch by 5, shifted 5 units left and 2 down

• Stretch by 2, shifted 2 units left and 5 down

• Compress by 5, shifted 2 units left and 2 down

What steps transform the graph y = x² to y = -1/2(x-4)² + 1?

• Compressed by 1/2, shifted 4 units right and 1 unit up

• Reflected across x-axis, compressed by 1/2, shifted 4 units right and 1 unit up

• Reflected across x-axis, stretched by 1/2, shifted 4 units left and 1 unit up

• Stretched by 1/2, shifted 4 units right and 1 unit down

Identify the vertex of f(x) = 5(x+6)² - 7

• (5,6)

• (0,0)

• (6,-7)

• (-6,-7)

What steps transform the graph y = x² to y = x² + 8

• shifted up 8 units

• shifted down 8 units

• shifted left 8 units

• shifted right 8 units

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

• Shifted down 4 units

• Shifted left 4 units

• Shifted right 4 units

• Vertically compressed by 4 and shifted right 4

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
