Graphing a quadratic with horizontal compression

The video tutorial explains how to identify the vertex of a graph and handle transformations when the A value is not equal to 1. It covers the process of creating a table of values to plot points and reflects on the graph's symmetry. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding transformations and how they affect graph plotting.

Explain how to choose points to the left and right of the vertex.

What is the significance of the axis of symmetry in a parabola?
