Determine the effect of constants on the parent function f(x)
= x2. For example, select an appropriate tool to help you
investigate the effects of adding a positive or negative
constant to the function as in f(x) = x2 + constant and f(x) =
(x + constant)2. Briefly describe your process and
summarize your results.

Four hundred people came to last year’s winter play at
Sunnybrook High School. The ticket price was $5. This
year, the Drama Club is hoping to earn enough money
to take a trip to a Broadway play. They estimate that for
each $0.50 increase in the price, 10 fewer people will
attend their play. Let x = the number of $0.50 increases.
