Question

What does the K value do to the parent function

Answer 1

K is horizontal compression/stretch, with the value 1/k

Answer 2

k will tell us what direction the function moves up or down or left and right.

h represents the horizontal shift, or how far the graph moves horizontally from x=0, and k represents the vertical shift, or how far the graph moves vertically from y=0, and a is a constant that tells us how much the graph stretches or shrinks vertically and if the a is negative.

How does the value of a, h, or k affect the vertex for the graph of each function compared to the parent function. f(x)=x2

g(x)=(x-8)2

h(x)=(x+4)2+12

j(x)= -1/2 - x2 +8
