Graph of Quadratic Function: Lesson 1

The document discusses graphing quadratic functions and determining their properties. It has the student graph transformations of the parent function y=x^2 by changing coefficients and constants. Changing the leading coefficient determines if the parabola opens up or down. Shifting the graph left or right is done by changing the h value in the equation y=(x-h)^2, and shifting the graph up or down is done by changing the k value in y=(x-h)^2+k. The student is asked to describe graphs of various quadratic functions without drawing them.

- When 0 < |𝑎| < 1, the graph gets ______________
Generalization:
 The value of h
- Determines the __________________ shift. It tells if the movement is to the __________
(when h is positive) or to the ______________ (when h is negative)
- Affects the ______________________.
 The value of k
- Determines the __________________ shift. It tells if the movement is to the __________
(when k is positive) or to the ______________ (when k is negative)
- Affects the ______________________.

Without graphing, describe the graph of the following functions with regards to the parent function.
