Graphing and describing transformations of a quadratic equation

The video tutorial explains how to describe and graph transformations of functions. It covers rearranging equations, identifying vertical and horizontal shifts, and understanding reflections about the x-axis and y-axis. The tutorial concludes with a step-by-step guide to graphing the transformed function.

What is the first step in describing the transformation of the function?

How does adding a constant to the function affect the graph?

How do you determine the direction of a horizontal shift based on the function's equation?

What does a horizontal shift to the left mean in terms of the function's graph?

Explain the effect of the negative sign in the function.

Describe the process of reflecting a graph about the x-axis.

What transformations are applied to the function in the example given?
