Here are the rules, in case you needed a reminder :)

MAKE SURE you have this written down somewhere :)

Let's start with some parent function review

DONT forget about those :)

Multiple Choice

y = |x|

y = x

y = x²

y = 2^x

Multiple Choice

absolute value

quadratic

linear

exponential

Multiple Choice

linear

quadratic

square root

absolute value

Multiple Choice

Name the parent function.

Now we will do transformations on a graph

Basically, what happened to get from the parent graph to the new graph?

Multiple Choice

Which equation represents this graph.

f(x)=(x - 4)² - 3

f(x)=-(x - 4)² + 3

f(x)=(x - 4)² + 3

f(x)=-(x + 4)² + 3

Multiple Choice

If the blue function is f(x)=x², then the red function must be

g(x)=x²-5

g(x)=x²+5

g(x)=(x-5)²

g(x)=(x+5)²

Multiple Choice

The blue function is the parent function f(x) = x³. Which of the following is the correct equation for the red function, g(x)?

g(x)=x³+1

g(x)=x³-1

g(x)=(x-1)³

g(x)=(x+1)³

Multiple Choice

If the blue function is f(x)=√x, the red function must be

g(x)=√(-x)

g(x)=√(x-1)

g(x)=√x-1

g(x)=-√x

Multiple Choice

Reflection of x-axis; Right 3; Up 1

Multiple Choice

Left 2; Up 2

Right 2; Down 2

Left 2; Up 2; Reflection over x-axis

Multiple Choice

What is the equation of the graph?

y = -√(x + 5)

y = √(x) - 2

y = √(x - 3)

y = -√(x) + 3

Multiple Choice

Identify the transformations to this absolute value function:

x-axis reflection; up 4

up 4

x-axis reflection; down 4

stretch of -2; up 4

Multiple Choice

Identify the transformations:

Shrink of 2; up 5

Up 2; right 5

Multiple Choice

Identify the transformations:

x-axis reflection; right 3

x-axis reflection; left 3

shrink of -1; right 3; up 3

stretch of -1; right 3

And last but not least...

Transformations from an EQUATION (use the formula from the beginning!)

Multiple Choice

Which quadratic function is represented by the graph?

y = 2(x - 4)² + 5

y = 2(x + 4)² + 5

y = -2(x - 4)² + 5

y = -2(x + 4)² + 5

Multiple Choice

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

Multiple Choice

Compressed vertically and reflected over the x-axis

Multiple Choice

Which equation is a quadratic function reflected over the x-axis and shifted up 2.

y = x² + 2

y = -x² + 2

y = x² - 2

y = -(x + 2)²

Multiple Choice
