Transformations of Quadratic Functions

Which transformation maps the graph of
f(x) = x² to the graph of g(x) = (x + 4)²?

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units up

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units down
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the left
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the right

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x² is replaced with 2⋅f(x)?

• Wider

• Narrower

• Vertical translation up by 2 units.
• Reflection across the x-axis.

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x² is replaced with f(x) + 2?

• Translation left 2 units

• Narrower

• Vertical translation up by 2 units.
• Reflection across the x-axis.

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x² is replaced with -f(x)?

• Nothing happens, it stays the same.
• Narrower

• Vertical translation up by 2 units.
• Reflection across the x-axis.

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

• g(x)=x²-5
• g(x)=x²+5
• g(x)=(x-5)²
• g(x)=(x+5)²

f(x) is transformed so that it maps onto g(x). Which equation would correctly represent g(x)

• g(x)=f(x - 3)
• g(x)=f(x) - 3
• g(x)=f(x) + 3
• g(x)=3f(x)

The vertex of the quadratic function f(x) in the picture (2, -2). If g(x) = f(x) - 4, what is the vertex of g(x)?

• (2, -6)

• (2, 2)

• (-2, -2)

• (6, -2)

The vertex of the quadratic function f(x) in the picture is (-4, 5). If g(x) = f(x + 2) , what is the vertex of g(x)?

• (-2, 5)
• (-6, 5)
• (-4, 3)
• (-4, 7)

How did we transform from the parent function?
g(x) = -1/5(x - 1)² + 7

• reflection, vertical compression, horizontal right, vertical up
• vertical compression, horizontal shift left, vertical shift up
• reflection, horizontal shift right, vertical shift down
• no changes were made to y = x²

In the equation f(x)=5(x+3)²-10 what does the 5 do?

• Vertical stretch by 5
• Horizontal compress by 5
• Reflect
• Move up 5
