Parabola Shifts

What do we call the graph of a quadratic function?

• parabola
• linear
• cubic
• sinusoidal

Which best describes the vertex of a parabola?

• Any point on the parabola.
• A point on the x-axis.
• The highest or lowest point of a parabola
• A point on the y-axis.

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

• Shifted up 4 units

Which transformation maps the graph of
f(x) = x² to the graph of g(x) = (x + 4)²?

• a reflection across the line x = -4
• a reflection across the line y = -4
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the left
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the right

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

What is the equation of this graph?

• f(x) = (x -5)² + 1
• f(x) = (x - 1)² - 5
• f(x) = (x + 1)² - 5
• f(x) = (x + 5)² +1

If the blue graph is
f(x) = x² 
the red must be...

• g(x) = (x + 3)²
• g(x) = (x - 3)²
• g(x) = x² + 3
• g(x) = x² - 2

The equation of red graph is y = x². What is the equation of the blue graph?

• y = x² + 5

• y = x² - 5

• y = (x - 5)²

• y = (x + 5)²

The axis of symmetry is a line that goes through the...

• y-intercept
• any random point
• vertex
•  x-axis or y-axis
