Transformations Enriched

The vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• True

• False

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

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

• 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, then the red must be

• g(x)=x² - 5

• g(x)=x² + 5

• g(x)=(x - 5)²

• g(x)=(x + 5)²
