Quadratic Transformations

Given f(x) = ax² , if 0 < a < 1 , the graph will transform by

• becoming wider or vertically compressed

• becoming narrower or vertically stretched

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

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

Given f(x) = (x + 3)² , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left 3

• Vertical shift up 3

• Horizontal shift right 3

• Vertical shift down 3

Given f(x) = x² - 4 , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left 4

• Vertical shift up 4

• Horizontal shift right 4

• Vertical shift down 4

Given f(x) = (x + 6)² - 2 , how did we transform from the parent function?

• Horizontal shift left 6, vertical shift up 2

• Horizontal shift left 6, vertical shift down 2

• Horizontal shift right 6, vertical shift down 2

• Horizontal shift right 6, vertical shift up 2

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 equation matches the following transformation: up 4, stretched 3, reflected down, and left 1
