IB skill practice

Interpret transformations in vertex form

Read vertex form of a quadratic to identify translations, reflection, vertical stretch, vertex, axis of symmetry, y-intercept, and range.

Full transformation analysis

For \(g(x)=-2(x - 6)^{2} - 5\), give a full transformation analysis: shifts, stretch factor, opening direction, vertex, axis, \(y\)-intercept, and range.

Worked practice: quadratic features

Use the vertex-form information to state the graph features in order.
