Outcomes

10D.QR2.01

Identify, through investigation using technology, the effect on the graph of y = x^2 of transformations by considering separately each parameter a, h, and k

10D.QR2.02

Explain the roles of a, h, and k in y = a(x – h )^2 + k, using the appropriate terminology to describe the transformations, and identify the vertex and the equation of the axis of symmetry
