Question
Consider the following quadratic functions.
f(x) = x2, g(x) = x2 + 3, and h(x) = x2 − 3
 
(a) Graph the quadratic functions on the same rectangular coordinate system.
 
(b) Describe what effect adding a constant, k, to the function has on the basic parabola.
When the constant k is positive, the graph of g(x) = x2 + k is the same as the graph of f(x) = x2 but shifted ? k units. However, when the constant k is negative, the graph of h(x) = x2 + k is the same as the graph of f(x) = x2 but shifted  ? k units.
