Unit 2 Day 6 Graph Transformations of Quadratics: Discovering Manipulating Functions
Graph Transformations: Discovering How to Manipulate Functions
Parent function: a basic function used as the building block for more complicated functions. Some examples of parent functions are:
Quadratics (parabolas): f(x)=x^2 (typed x^2)
Each colored box will display the transformation function on the graph. The parent function will be visible in blue dotted font and the transformation function will be visible in red font.
Complete the exercises below, making conjectures about how the values of each of the variables (a, h, k, and z) transform the parent function.
