FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
The parent function of a quadratic equation is f(x) = x², which is a parabola that opens upwards with its vertex at the origin (0,0).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a vertical shift of a quadratic function do?
Back
A vertical shift moves the graph of the function up or down. For example, f(x) = x² + 3 shifts the graph up 3 units.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a horizontal shift of a quadratic function do?
Back
A horizontal shift moves the graph of the function left or right. For example, f(x) = (x - 4)² shifts the graph right 4 units.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What effect does a negative sign in front of a quadratic function have?
Back
A negative sign reflects the graph across the x-axis. For example, g(x) = -x² is a downward-opening parabola.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a vertical stretch in the context of quadratic functions?
Back
A vertical stretch occurs when the coefficient of x² is greater than 1, making the parabola narrower. For example, f(x) = 3x² is vertically stretched by a factor of 3.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a vertical compression in the context of quadratic functions?
Back
A vertical compression occurs when the coefficient of x² is between 0 and 1, making the parabola wider. For example, f(x) = 1/2x² is vertically compressed by a factor of 1/2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you identify a horizontal shift in the equation y = (x + 2)²?
Back
The equation y = (x + 2)² indicates a horizontal shift left by 2 units from the parent function.
