Transformations of Quadratic Functions
Follow the instructions below the graph and answer the questions.
Instructions
1. Check the Vertical Translation box and move the slider for k and observe the change to the graph.
How does a change in the value of k change the graph of the quadratic function?
2: Uncheck the Vertical Translation box and check the Horizontal Translation box.
Then move the slider for h and observe the change to the graph.
How does a change in the value of h change the graph of the quadratic function?
3: Uncheck the Horizontal Translation box and check the Vertical Stretch/Compression and Reflection box.
Then move the slider for a and observe the change to the graph.
How does a change in the value of a change the graph of the quadratic function?
