Exploring Horizontal Scaling of Quadratic Equations

This lesson covers horizontal scaling in quadratic equations, comparing it to linear equations. It explains how to find the 'a' value in quadratic functions using vertex form and ordered pairs. The video distinguishes between horizontal and vertical scaling, emphasizing the multiplication of X in horizontal scaling. It also addresses common misunderstandings, such as the differences between F(K*X) and K*F(X).

What is horizontal scaling in the context of quadratic equations?

How does a horizontal stretch of a linear equation occur?

What happens to the Y intercept when a linear function is compressed horizontally?

How can we determine the type of scaling taking place in a transformation of quadratic equations?

What is the significance of the value of 'a' in the vertex form of quadratic equations?

Explain the difference between vertical scaling and horizontal scaling.

What is the result of multiplying the X of the original function by a number larger than one?
