Question

Express each quadratic function in the form f(x)=a(xh)2+kf(x)=a(x-h)^2+k. Then use transformations of the graph of f(x)=x2f(x)=x^2 to graph each function.

f(x)=12x2+4x2f(x)=-\frac{1}{2} x^2+4 x-2

Remember that the graph of f(x)=a(xh)2+kf(x)=a(x-h)^2+k is a transformation of the graph of f(x)=x2f(x)=x^2.

where

  1. a|a| is the dilation of f(x)f(x) If a>1a \gt 1, the graph moves away from the xx-axis. If 0<a<10 \lt a \lt 1, the graph moves toward the xx-axis.
  2. hh is a horizontal translation of f(x)f(x) in h units|h|\mathrm{~units} If h>0h \gt 0, the graph shifts to the right. If h<0h \lt 0, the graph shifts to the left.
  3. kk is a vertical translation of f(x)f(x) in k units|k|\mathrm{~units} If k>0k \gt 0, the graph shifts upward. If k<0k \lt 0, the graph shifts downward.
