Similarly, the graph of y = x 2 3 is 3 units below the graph of y = x 2 The constant term "c" has the same effect for any value of a and b Parabolas in the vertexform or the ahk form, y = a(x h) 2 k To understand the vertexform of the quadratic equation, let's go back our orginal equation, f(x) = x 2 In this equation, remember This video shows how to use horizontal and vertical shifts together to graph a radical functionThe graph of a quadratic function is a parabola The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax2 bx c where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 The standard form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x − h)2 k where a ≠ 0 The vertex (h, k) is located at h = – b 2a, k = f(h) = f
