Transforming Parabolas

Graph A: Quadratic Parent Function (Red)

Graph B: Opens Up And Winder (Blue)

Graph C: Opens Down And Is More Narrow (Green)

Graph D: Shifted Up (Purple)

Graph E: Shifted Down (Black)

The significance of A,H,K had a big role in my equations in my purple, red, blue, black. A was the one who made my parabolas wider or more narrow and if i placed a negative on the A it was also responsible for turning it upside down. H was important in my purple and block equations since it was responsible for shifting my parabolas, left or right along the x axis by making the H negative it shifted to the left and by making it positive it shifted to the right and lastly for K it affected my purple and black equations by moving the graph up or down from the original parent functions.

  1. I demonstrated the same mathematical equation in different ways by showing the i can graph it but also find the and write the equation for the parabolas and its different parts.
  2. The parent function Y=x^2, Vertex which is the point that the graph is at its highest or lowest, Domain and range which are how far the graph goes on the x and y axis, mid point formula (x1+x2 /2) which gives us our axis of symmetry. The x and y intercepts which are found by replacing the x or y for 0 and solving for the other one, this shows us where on the x and y axis the parabola goes through.
  3. i listed the vertexes all separated from each other and also put different colours for each graph to distinguish it easier and for the vocabulary i tried to explain in the simplest way possible while getting the point across.

Reviewing Chapter 1: Factoring & Radicals

The part of chapter 1 that I am most comfortable with is factoring I think it is the easiest to do for me overall since there are many ways to make the questions easier (perfect squares , difference of squares ,GCF and LCM)

The most difficult part of chapter one for me was solving while radical equations I think I have the basics down but sometimes when solving I do some wrong steps and I mess up the whole equation .

I usually learn new material best when I am working with a group of people who are on a similar level with me since we can all work together to understand when we are struggling.

I plan to prepare for the unit test by doing the chapter 1.8 review the workbook and some extra questions for the actual workbook chapters.

I have already done all the math practice worksheets as well as all the workbook questions that were assigned.

The statement to me means that even when faced with challenges that might be difficult for me at the time I can alter my learning and attitude toward those problems to solve them to the best of my ability with full explanations.
