What do you call the shape of a quadratic equation?
A Parabola
A negative a value does what to a parabola
Reflects it over the X-Axis (flipped/upside down)
y = -2(x-2)2+7
What is a, h, and k?
a = -2
h = 2
k = 7
The transformation from the parent function to the graph on the image below:
A horizontal shift left 2 units
The transformation that occurs in the quadratic function
f(x)=x^2+3
A vertical shift up 3 units
How do you find the x intercepts of a quadratic equation?
Factor the quadratic, then set factor equal to zero and solve for x.
The lowest or the highest possible point of a parabola is...
The Vertex
The h value of a parabola does what to it?
Shifts it left if negative or right if positive.
What is the vertex of: y = (x+3)2-2
(-3,-2)
The transformation that occurs from the parent function to the graph below
A vertical shift down 3 units
The transformation that occurs in the quadratic function
f(x)=(x-3)^2
A horizontal shift right 3 units
y = -5 or (0,-5)
A vertical line that slices the parabola in half. Its equation is written as x= , where x is the x value of the vertex
The Axis of Symmetry
The k value does what to a parabola?
Moves it up if it is positive or down if it is negative.
What is the vertex of: y = -2(x-5)2+12
(5,12)
The transformations that occur from the parent function to the graph below
A horizontal shift right 3 and a vertical shift down 2
The transformation that occurs in the quadratic function
f(x)=2x^2
A vertical stretch of 2
What are the x - intercepts of: y=x2+4x-12
x=-6 and x=2
(-6,0) and (2,0)
This word describes a vertex that is the lowest point (Hint: this means the parabola is facing upward: U)
A Minimum
|a|>1, what transformation occurs?
A vertical stretch
Make a graph of y = (x-2)2+7
Mr. Alcazar will decide who gets the points
(This isn't advanced enough for me to graph the answer)
The transformations from the parent function to the graph below
What are a horizontal shift left 5 units and a vertical shift up 1 unit?
The Transformations that Occur in the Quadratic Function
f(x)=1/3(x+2)^2-4
A vertical compression of 1/3, a horizontal shift left 2, and a vertical shift left down 4
What are the x-intercepts of y=x2-3x-10
x = 5 and x = -2
(5,0) and (-2,0)
What is the name of the points where the Parabola crosses the x-axis?
X Intercepts or Zeros or Roots
If 0<|a|<1, which transformation occurs?
A vertical Compression
Make a graph of y = -(x+1)2-4
Mr. Alcazar will decide who gets the points.
(I cannot graph on here).

x = -2
