Transformations of Quadratics in Standard Form

Describe the transformations from f(x)=x² to g(x)=1/4x²+4

• Reflected across x axis, up 4 units

• Vertical shrink by 1/4, up 4 units

• Vertical stretch by 4, up 4 units

• Vertical string by 1/4, left 4 units

Changing the c value of a standard form quadratic (y=ax²+bx+c) transforms the graph how?

• Up and down

• Left or right

• Reflects over x axis

• Up only

• Creates a change in the universe that is so chaotic it creates a new galaxy

Comparing h(x)=-5x²-1 to the parent function f(x)=x², determine which transformation DOES NOT occur.

• Reflection over the x-axis

• Vertical stretch by a factor of 5

• Down 1 unit

• Reflected over the y-axis

Which function's graph is the result of shifting the graph of f(x)=-x²-4 3 units down?

• g(x)=-x²-1

• g(x) = -1/3x²-4

• g(x)=-x²-7

• Vertical Compression

• Vertical Stretch

• Horizontal Shift RIGHT
