Question

Determine the answers to the following questions for each of the given transformed quadratic functions.
i) How does the shape of the graph compare with the graph of
f(x) 5 x2?
ii) What are the coordinates of the vertex and the equation of the axis
of symmetry?
iii) Graphthetransformedfunctionandf(x)5x2onthesameset

Answer 1

Quadratic functions have u- shaped graph. It is called parabola. A parabola has highest and lowest point called vertex and it has the x- coordinates.The minimum and maximum Value has the y- coordinates. Axis of symmetry is the vertical line divides the parabola into two halves.
