Learn how to identify the transformations of a quadratic with b and h

The video tutorial explains the process of factoring out B in equations and its impact on graph transformations. It covers the reflection and shifting of graphs along the X and Y axes, emphasizing the importance of correctly factoring to achieve accurate graph shifts. The use of Desmos is demonstrated to visualize these changes, highlighting the shift of graphs to the left when B is factored out. The tutorial stresses the necessity of factoring to avoid misinterpretations in graph analysis.

What happens to the graph when you factor out a negative sign from B?

• The graph reflects across the Y-axis.

• The graph reflects across the X-axis.

• The graph shifts downwards.

• The graph shifts upwards.

How does factoring out B affect the horizontal shift of the graph?

• It shifts the graph to the left.

• It shifts the graph to the right.

• It shifts the graph upwards.

• It shifts the graph downwards.

What tool is suggested to confirm the graph's transformation?

• Spreadsheet software

• Programming language

• Desmos

• Graphing calculator

Why is it important to factor out B correctly?

• To ensure the graph shifts in the correct direction.

• To increase the graph's size.

• To make the graph disappear.

• To change the color of the graph.

What is the result of not factoring out B properly?

• The graph will not reflect correctly.

• The graph will change color.

• The graph will not be visible.

• The graph will become a straight line.
