Investigate the effect of the values h and k i the function
f(x) = (x - h)² + k
1. Drag the k slider and describe the effect k has on the
position and the shape of the graph.
2. State the coordinates of the vertex, when k = -4, -2, 0, 2 and 4.
Reset the graph window.
3. Drag the h slider and describe the effect h has on the
position and the shape of the graph.
4. State the coordinates of the vertex, when h = -4, -2, 0, 2 and 4.
Make a general statement regarding the shape and position of the
graphs compared to f(x) = x²
