1. UNIT 1 REVIEW of TRANSFORMATIONS of a GRAPH
f(x)
Original (Parent) Graph
a•f(x – h) + k
Transformed Graph
“a” – value
“h” – value
“k” – value
For graphs #1, 2, 3, 5, 8:
y = x2
QUADRATIC FUNCTION
(ORIGINAL)
y = a(x – h)2 + k
TRANSFORMED QUADRATIC FUNCTION

2. FIND THE EQUATION for Graphs #1, 2, 3:
Step #1: Use the vertex to indicate the horizontal (h) and vertical (k) changes
Step #2: Use another point on the graph to help determine the “a”- value (Hint: The direction it opens indicates the sign)
Graph #1:
y = a(x – h)2 + k
Graph #2:
y = a(x – h)2 + k
Graph #3:
y = a(x – h)2 + k

3. FIND THE EQUATION for graphs #5, 8:
y = a(x – h)2 + k
Graph #8:
y = a(x – h)2 + k

4. “a” – value “h” – value “k” – value
For graphs #4, 6, 7, and 9:
“Sideways Quadratic Graphs”
1) If you look at the symmetrical parts of these graphs above or below the axis of symmetry, what function do these parts most resemble?
2) Write down the general equation of the parent function and transformed function?
SQUARE ROOT FUNCTION
(ORIGINAL)
TRANSFORMED
SQUARE ROOT FUNCTION
“a” – value “h” – value “k” – value

5. FIND THE EQUATION for Graphs #4 ,6:
Step #1: Use the vertex of the graph to indicate the horizontal (h) and vertical (k) changes for the starting pt.
Step #2: Use another point on the graph to determine the “a”- value
Step #3: Solve the transformed equation for x

6. FIND THE EQUATION for Graphs #7 ,9:

7. Look at the equations for graphs #4, 6, 7, 9
OBSERVATIONS:
Look at the equations for graphs #4, 6, 7, 9
Do you notice any SIMILARITIES or DIFFERENCES in those equations in comparison to the quadratic?
How are the coordinates of the VERTEX in the graph related to the equation?
How is the axis of symmetry equation and vertex related based on the shape of the graph?
