f ( x)  x 2
The “Parent” Function of the Quadratic:

We can transform the quadratic
the same way we did with the
absolute value function.

Notice how the graph increases. Up 1 over 1. Up 3 over 1. Up 5 over 1.
Describe, in order, the sequence of transformations of each
function and then graph the function by hand.
