Transformations of a Quadratic Function

f

g

e

d

The graph shows the function f(x)=x² in blue and another function g(x) in red.  Which could be the equation for g(x)?

• g(x)=3x²

• g(x)=1/3x²

• g(x) = x² - 3

• g(x) = (x-3)²

• compress

• stretch

The parent function, f(x), is transformed so that it maps into g(x). Which equation would correctly represent g(x)?

(a)  

• g(x)=f(x - 3)

• g(x)=f(x + 3)

• g(x)=f(x) + 3

• g(x)=f(x) - 2

Reflected over the x-axis

Stretched by a factor of 2

Parent function, f(x) = x². Write the equation that would produce the transformed function, h(x), when the parent function is translated three units left, vertically compressed with a scale factor of one-third, and vertically translated down one unit.

Describe the transformations of f(x) when compared to the parent function.
f(x)=(x+7)²

• horizontal shift left 7 units

• horizontal shift right 7 units

• vertical shift up 7 units

• vertical shift down 7 units

In the equation f(x)=5(x+3)²-10 what effect does the 5 do when compared to the parent function?

• Vertical stretch by a factor of 5

• Vertical shrink/compress by a factor of 5

• Reflect over x-axis

• Vertical shift up 5 units

If the blue is f(x)=x^2, the red must be

• g(x)=(x+3)²

• g(x)=(x-3)²

• g(x)=x²+3

• g(x)=x²-2
