Graphing the quadratic function with transformations

The video tutorial explains the characteristics of quadratic graphs, focusing on their U-shape compared to the V-shape of absolute value graphs. It covers transformations, including shifts and stretches, and how these affect the graph's appearance. The tutorial emphasizes the similarity between transformations in quadratic and absolute value functions, using examples to illustrate horizontal stretching and compression. The session concludes with a Q&A segment.

Explain how the graph changes when the coefficient of x^2 is multiplied by 1/2.

What does it mean for a graph to be stretched horizontally?
