##### Problem 1

Here the graph of quadratic function ﻿$f$﻿.

Andre uses the expression ﻿$(x - 5)^2 + 7$﻿ to define ﻿$f$﻿.

Noah uses the expression ﻿$(x + 5)^2 -7$﻿ to define ﻿$f$﻿.

1) Do you agree with either of them?

True or false? Write below.

##### Problem 2

Here are the graphs of ﻿$y = x^2$﻿, ﻿$y = x^2 - 5$﻿, and ﻿$y = (x + 2)^2 - 8$﻿.

3) How do the 3 graphs compare?

4) How does the -5 in ﻿$x^2 - 5$﻿ affect the graph?

5) How does the +2 and the -8 in ﻿$(x + 2)^2 - 8$﻿ affect the graph?

##### Problem 3

6) Which equation represents the graph of ﻿$y = x^2 + 2x - 3$﻿ moved 3 units to the left?

a)

﻿$y$﻿=﻿$x^{2}$﻿+2﻿$x$﻿-6

b)

﻿$y$﻿=(﻿$x$﻿+3﻿$)^{2}$﻿+2﻿$x$﻿-3

c)

﻿$y$﻿=(﻿$x$﻿+3﻿$)^{2}$﻿+2(﻿$x$﻿+3)

d)

﻿$y$﻿=(﻿$x$﻿+3﻿$)^{2}$﻿+2(﻿$x$﻿+3)-3

##### Problem 4

7) Select ﻿$\textbf{all}$﻿ the equations with a graph whose vertex has ﻿$\textit{both}$﻿ a positive ﻿$x$﻿- and a positive ﻿$y$﻿-coordinate. Write each corresponding letter in the answer box and separate letters with commas.

a) ﻿$y = x^2 \quad \quad\quad$﻿ b) ﻿$y = (x - 1)^2 \quad \quad$﻿ c) ﻿$y = (x - 3)^2 + 2 \quad \quad$﻿ d) ﻿$y = 2(x - 4)^2 - 5 \quad \quad\quad$﻿ e) ﻿$y = 0.5(x + 2)^2 + 6$﻿

f) ﻿$y = -(x - 4)^2 + 3 \quad \quad$﻿ g) ﻿$y = -2(x - 3)^2 + 1 \quad \quad$﻿

##### Problem 5

The height in feet of a soccer ball is modeled by the equation ﻿$g(t) = 2 + 50t - 16t^2$﻿, where time ﻿$t$﻿ is measured in seconds after it was kicked.
