however we need to investigate the way
(unique) output values depend on how input
values vary.

Functions (Exam Guidelines: You Need to Know)
1. Learners must understand the effect of the parameters a, b, p and q for the following
functions (i.e. linear, parabola, hyperbola and exponential):
𝑎
𝒚 = 𝒂𝒙 + 𝒒 ; 𝒚=𝒂 𝒙+𝒑 𝟐 +𝒒 ; 𝑦= + q and 𝒚 = 𝒂𝒃𝒙 + 𝒑 + 𝒒
𝑥+𝑝
2. Learners must be able to use and interpret functional notation. In the teaching
process learners must be able to understand how f(x) has been transformed to generate

Parabola : Overview
Parabolic Functions:
of what learners need to master
• Learners need to be able to recognize the equation of the graph of a parabola
in various forms and the sketched graph of a parabola itself.
o y = a (x + p)2 + q
o y = ax2 + bx + c
o y = a (x – x1) (x – x2)
• The concept of a “mother graph” should be emphasized while investigating the effect
of parameters above.
o Consider the mother graph y = x2 for quadratic function.
For example, the graph o f y = −x2 −1 is the graph o f y = −x2 shifted 1 unit
downwards. Immediately the learners can see that the graph has no x-intercepts without
having to do an algebraic manipulation to get non-real solutions for the equation
0 = −x2 −1 .
o Also, the graph of y = x2 −1 is the graph of y = x2 shifted 1 unit downwards. Learners
will clearly see that the graph has x-intercepts which can be determined algebraically.
o The graph of y = a(x + p)2 + q is obtained by shifting the mother graph p units
horizontally and then q units vertically. This method is highly effective since it makes the
sketching of these functions meaningful.
For example, the graph of y = 2(x +1)2 − 8 is the graph of y = 2x2 shifted 1 unit left
and 8 units downwards.

LINEAR FUNCTIONS (SKETCHING STRAIGHT
LINE GRAPHS)
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF THE VALUE OF a.
• The gradient of a line represents the ratio of the change of the y-values
with respect to the x values. In other words, gradient tells us the direction
(or slope) of the line.
We will now plot the points and then draw the
lines on the same set of axes.
Let’s now consider what happens if the value of the
coefficient of x is negative.
