Quadratic Transformations Vertical and Horizontal Shifts

What is the vertex form of a quadratic function?

• f(x) = 2a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

• f(x) = (x + h)² + k

• f(x) = a(x - h) - k

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

What transformations have occurred? 

• Right 2 and up 2

• Left 2 and up 2

• Right 2 and down 2

• Left 2 and down 2

Write the equation y = of a quadratic function with a horizontal stretch by a factor of 5 and a vertical shift up 9

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

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

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
