Quadratic Transformation Vocab

The graph of a quadratic function.

• Hyperbola

• Circle

• Parabola

• Parent Function

Describe the transformations from f(x) = x² to g(x) = -0.3x² + 4

• vertical compression and shift up

• reflection over x-axis, vertical compression, and shift up

• reflection over x-axis, vertical stretch, and shift up

• vertical stretch and shift down

Which graph will be the most vertically stretched compared to the quadratic parent function?

• g(x) = -x² + 9

• g(x) = 5x² + 1

• g(x) = 0.2x² - 11

• g(x) = -3x² - 6

What is the axis of symmetry in a function?

• The transformation of the graph

• The vertex, represented by (h,k)

• A vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in half

• y = h
