Lesson 5.2: Vertex Form and Transformations Flashcards
1
Q
Vertical Shift
A
vertical movement along a parabola’s line of symmetry
2
Q
Vertical Stretch
A
When a>1, a vertical stretch occurs.
3
Q
Vertical Compression
A
When 0<a<1, a vertical compression occurs.
4
Q
Vertex Form
A
y=a(x-h)^2+k
5
Q
Horizontal Shift
A
Shifts the graph left or right along the X-axis (y=(x-h)^2 –> function shifts right h units, y=(x+h)^2 –> function shifts left h units)
