Question

Describe how to transform the parent function y= x^2 to the graph of each function below.

1. Y= -2(x - 1)^2
2. Y= 3(x - 2)^2 + 3

Answer 1

distribute, so you would get y=-2x+2^2 
remember PEMDAS Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division left to right, Addition/Subtraction left to right.
so y=-2x+4
4 is your y intercept. plot a point on the y axis at 4
and your slope would be -2/1
so down 2, right 1
