Algebra 1

Transform means change, and these transformations change the simple quadratic $y=x^2$y=x2 into other quadratics by moving (translations), flipping (reflecting) and making the graph appear more or less steep (dilating).
By using the above applet, step through these instructions.
• Start with the simple quadratic $y=x^2$y=x2
• Dilate the quadratic by factor of $2$2.
• Reflect on the $x$x axis
• Translate vertically by $2$2 and horizontally by $-3$3 units.
How has the graph changed? Can you visualize the changes without using the applet?  What is the resulting equation?

## Equations and Transformations of Quadratics

Transformations of quadratics will change the equation of the quadratic.  Here are some of the most common types of quadratic equations, and what they mean with regards to the transformations that have occurred.
$y=ax^2$y=ax2
If $a<0$a<0 (that is $a$a is negative) then we have a reflection parallel to the $x$x axis.  It's like the quadratic has been flipped upside down.
Shows the reflection of
$y=x^2$y=x2 to $y=-x^2$y=x2
Shows the reflection of
$y=\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)$y=(x1)(x+2) to $y=-\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)$y=(x1)(x+2)

$y=ax^2$y=ax2

This is a quadratic that has been dilated vertically by a factor of $a$a
If $\left|a\right|>1$|a|>1 then the graph is steeper than $y=x^2$y=x2
If  $\left|a\right|<1$|a|<1 then the graph is flatter than $y=x^2$y=x2
Dilation of $y=x^2$y=x2 to $y=3x^2$y=3x2 and $y=\frac{1}{2}x^2$y=12 x2

$y=ax^2+k$y=ax2+k
In the graph $y=ax^2+k$y=ax2+k, the quadratic has been vertically translated by $k$k units.
If $k>0$k>0 then the translation is up.
If $k<0$k<0 then the translation is down.
Vertical translation.
Showing one curve $y=2x^2+5$y=2x2+5 having a vertical translation of up $5$5 units, and
another $y=2x^2-3$y=2x23 having a vertical translation of down $3$3 units.

$y=\left(x-h\right)^2$y=(xh)2
The $h$h indicates the horizontal translation.
If $h>0$h>0, that is the factor in the parentheses is $\left(x-h\right)$(xh) than we have a horizontal translation of $h$h units right.
If $h<0$h<0 , that is the factor in the parentheses is $\left(x--h\right)=\left(x+h\right)$(xh)=(x+h) than we have a horizontal translations of $h$h units left.
The graph $y=x^2$y=x2 being horizontally translated $2$2 units left
to $y=\left(x+2\right)^2$y=(x+2)2 and $1$1 unit right to $y=\left(x-1\right)^2$y=(x1)2
