Where is the "a" in your function?

I honestly have no clue.

anonymous · Answer

Are you asking me if that is my question or is that what you're trying to find out?

anonymous · Answer

i would say the question as written makes no sense
what affect does a value have on the function$f(x)=x^2$ ?

anonymous · Answer

The choices of answers are: The "a" value...
 a) reflects the graph across the y-axis
 b) moves the function up or down
 c) moves the function to the left or the right
 d) stretches the function vertically by a factor of |a|
