2Dilation of Parabola
In other words the absolute value of a, the
coefficient of x2, is a dilation factor that
changes the shape of the parabola
f(x) ax2 bx c
The absolute value of a determines fatness.
As the absolute value of a decreases in value,
the shape of the parabola gets fatter or wider.
As the absolute value of a increases, the shape
of the parabola gets thinner.

crosses the y-axis.

f(x) (x h)2 k represents a
horizontal translation of f(x) x2, h units to
the right if h is positive or h units to left if
h is negative and a vertical translation of k
units. The coordinate (h, k) is the turning
point of the parabola.
11Aim How do transformations affect the equations
and graphs of functions?
Do Now
Write the equation and sketch the graph of y x3
after a transformation that translates it 3 units
up.
after a transformation that translates it 3 to
the left.
after both a transformation that translates
it 3 units up and 3 to the left.
12Vertical Horizontal Translations
- If k and h are positive numbers and
- f(x) is a function, then
- f(x) k shifts f(x) up k units
- f(x) k shifts f(x) down k units
- f(x h) shifts f(x) right h units
- f(x h) shifts f(x) left h units
f(x) (x h)2 k - quadratic
f(x) x h k - absolute value
f(x) (x h)3 k - cubic
f(x) (x h)4 k - quartic or 4th degree
ex. f(x) (x 4)2 4 is the image of g(x)
x2 after a shift of 4 units to the right and
four units up or a translation of T4,4.
