Answer #2

200

Vertex is at (0, 4)

Axis of symmetry is at x = 0

Vertical stretch of 4

Graph opens down 

Range is y <= 4

f(x) = -4x2 + 4

300

What does h and k do in: f(x)= +/- (x - h)2 + k

h and k determine the location of the vertex and the axis of symmetry

300

Range is y <= -2

300

Draw the graph of 

h(x) = (x - 4)2 +2

Answer #3

300

Vertex is at (5, -3)

Axis of symmetry is at x = 5

Vertical stretch of 1/3

Graph opens up (Range is at y >= -3)

f(x) = 1/3 (x - 5)2 - 3

400

What happens to the graph when there is a negative in front of the equation? Ex: - (x -h)2, -x2 + k

The graph opens down instead of up

400

Find the vertex of 

y = x2 - 7/3

Vertex is at (0, -7/3)

400

Draw the graph of (x - 9/2)2 + 7/2

Answer #4

400

Vertex at (2, 2)

Vertical stretch of 3

Axis of symmetry at x = 2

Parabola opens up

y = 3 (x - 2)2 + 2

500

What does the graph look like when there is a whole number in front of it? Ex: 2(x - h)2 + k , 6x2

The graph becomes more narrow (skinny)

500

500

Draw the graph of y = -2x2

Answer #5

500

Vertex at (-7, 3)

Axis of symmetry at x = 7
