To draw: the Graph for given function and compare the given graph to a parent function.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Parent function:
Transformed function:
Graphing the function:
Comparing this equation with the vertex form of
On comparing we find that, the vertex ( h, k ) is
As the value of a is a negative number, so the graph will open down.
Now, take some random points of x and y to plot more points on graph:
x | y |
-2 | -2 |
2 | -2 |
Now plot these points on the graph:
Therefore, the graph is
Now, let us make the graph of
Comparing this equation with the vertex form of quadratic:
On comparing we find that the vertex of equation ( h, k ) is
As the value of a is a positive number, so the graph will open up.
Now take more points to plot on the graph:
x | y |
2 | 4 |
-2 | 4 |
Now plot these points on the graph:
Let us compare the graph of
We could see
Also, if we compare y -coordinate value of point (-2,4) by y -coordinate value of point (-2,-2),
Therefore, the graph of g( x) is reflected across x -axis and compress vertically by a factor of
