Activity 2.1.3 Stretch It! Part Two As we continue exploring the transformations that can be imposed upon quadratic functions, let us stress the importance of not memorizing, what graphical changes happen when understanding, we change certain parameters of the function. 1. Again, we will start with the parent function, . x y –3 –2 0 2 3 2. Where of the function. k is “outside” Using a graphing utility, create a table of values for the 4 given values of Then plot your k. values and draw a smooth curve to approximate the transformed quadratic function. On each graph, include the graph of the parent function. Label the two functions on your graph and respectively. x y x y –2 –2 –1 –1 0 0 1 1 2 2
