• 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 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

What are coordinates of the vertex of a parabola often represented by?

• (x, y)

• (x₂, y₂)

• (h, k)

• (r₂, d₂)

A parabola has a vertex at (1,6) and passes through (3,-18). Write the equation in vertex form.

Formula: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = 3(x - 1)² - 18

• f(x) = -6(x - 1)² + 6

• f(x) = 6(x - 3)² - 18

• f(x) = -3(x + 1)² - 6

Your teacher gives you an equation in vertex form and wants you to convert it to standard form. Which one of the following describes the steps in the correct order?

• Distribute the "a" value.

  Square the expression in parentheses.

  Combine like terms.

• Sketch the graph on the coordinate plane.

  Identify 2 ordered pairs.

  Use STAT-EDIT and STAT>CALC-Option 4 (LinReg)

• Square the expression in parentheses.

  Combine Like Terms.

  Distribute the "a" value.

• Square the expression in parentheses.

  Distribute the "a" value.

  Combine like terms.

A parabola has a vertex at (-1.5,12.5) and passes through (0,8). Solve for "a" and write the equation in vertex form.

Formula: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• y = -1.5(12.5 - 8)²

• y = 2(x + 0)² + 8

• y = -2(x + 1.5)² + 12.5

• y = 8(x + 1.5)² - 12.5

• None of the above

Your teacher gives you an equation in vertex form. If the "a" value is -3, select the statements below that are true.

• "a" will be -3 in standard form

• "a" represents a vertical compression

• "a" will become 9 in standard form

• the parabola will open downward

• "a" describes the horizontal shift

Given the equation above, which of the following statements is FALSE?

• The graph opens upward.

• The vertex is at (7, 4).

• The parabola crosses the x-axis twice.

• The standard form is y= 2x² - 28x + 102.

• The axis of symmetry is x = 7.
