Start with the quadratic parent
function f(x) = x^2. It is what you get when you start with a
quadratic and remove everything but the x^2.

Q1: Translate f(x)=x^2 horizontally by
whatever amount you like, except 0. Tell us if it is right or left.

Q2: Translate f(x)=x^2 vertically by whatever
amount you like, except 0. Tell us if it is up or down.

Q3: Does f(x)=x^3 reflect across the y axis?

Q4: Why or why not?
