How to apply transformations to graph the quadratic equation

The video tutorial explains graph transformations, focusing on identifying parameters A, H, and K. It covers vertex transformation, graph shifting, reflection, and the effects of A on graph stretching and compression. The tutorial emphasizes understanding how these transformations affect the graph's shape and orientation.

What is the primary focus when transforming a graph using the equation y = a * (X - H)^2 + K?

• The slope of the line

• The vertex of the graph

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

How does a negative value of A affect the orientation of the graph?

• The graph opens downwards

• The graph remains unchanged

• The graph opens upwards

• The graph becomes a straight line

If the absolute value of A is less than one, what happens to the graph?

• It stretches horizontally

• It compresses horizontally

• It compresses vertically

• It stretches vertically

What happens to the graph when the absolute value of A is greater than one?

• The graph stretches horizontally

• The graph compresses horizontally

• The graph compresses vertically

• The graph stretches vertically

Which of the following is true about the graph when A is negative?

• The graph opens upwards and is stretched

• The graph opens downwards and is stretched

• The graph opens downwards and is compressed

• The graph opens upwards and is compressed
