Question

HELP PLEASE! Describe the effects of a, h and k on each function. Describe any similarities or differences between the effects of a, h and k.
Quadratic:y=a〖(x-h)〗^2+k
Exponential: y=a*b^((x-h) )+k
Radical: y=a√(x-h)+k
Rational: y=a/(x-h)+k

Answer 1

For all of these cases:

a: shrink the whole shape horizontally by a times (if a is negative, then it extends -a times)

h: left shift the shape h units (if h is negative, then it right shifts -h units)

k: up shift the shape k units (if k is negative, then it down shifts -k units)
