Teaching Quadratic Transformations

Given f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{4}x² how did we transform from the parent function?

• 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, the red must be

• g(x)=(x+3)²

• g(x)=(x-3)²

• g(x)=x²+3

• g(x)=x²-2

f(x) is transformed so that it maps onto g(x). Which equation would correctly represent g(x)

• g(x)=f(x + 3)

• g(x)=f(x - 3)

• g(x)=f(x) + 3

• g(x)=f(x) - 2

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

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units up

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units down

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the left

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the right

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

Match the equation to its description.

• Vertically stretched by 2 and shifted up 4

• Vertically compressed by 2 and shifted up 4

• Vertically stretched by 2 and shifted left 4

• Vertically compressed by 2 and shifted left 4

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

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x² is replaced with 2⋅f(x)?

• Nothing happens, it stays the same.

• Vertical stretch by a factor of 2.

• Vertical translation up by 2 units.

• Reflection across the x-axis.
