Front

How do you identify a quadratic function from a table of values?

Back

A quadratic function will show a constant second difference in the y-values when the x-values are evenly spaced.

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex of a parabola is the highest or lowest point on the graph, depending on whether it opens upwards or downwards.

Front

What is a reflection in the context of function transformations?

Back

A reflection occurs when a graph is flipped over a line, such as the x-axis or y-axis, changing the sign of the function's output.

Front

What does it mean to stretch a function vertically?

Back

A vertical stretch occurs when the output values of a function are multiplied by a factor greater than 1, making the graph taller.
