About this document

Understanding a, h, and k in Quadratics by Chrystelle Grace Tonogan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Changing the values of a, h, and k in the quadratic function y = a(x-h)^2 + k affects the graph in different ways: 1) Varying a changes the opening and shape of the parabola, with positive a opening upward and negative a opening downward. Larger absolute values of a make the graph narrower. 2) Varying h translates the graph horizontally, with positive h translating right and negative h translating left. 3) Varying k translates the parabola vertically, with positive k translating up and negative k trans
