Question

The graph of y = x2 is shown below. Using complete sentences, explain how the graph
of y = –2(x + 3)2 + 1 would differ from this parabola?

Answer 1

Beginning with the function y = x^2 at (0,0), move the function 3 spaces to the right and 1 space up ....

Answer 2

thank you

Answer 3

There are are two more transformations

Answer 4

From the "-2" the negative would reflect the parabola around the x-axis so that it opens downward; and the "2" would create a vertical "stretch" so that that the parabola is more narrow than y=x^2

Answer 5

Also it is moved 3 squares to the left not the right
