            [b][size=150]The quadratic function is [color=#ff0000]y = x[sup]2[/sup][/color] , denoted by function g.  [br][br][/size][/b]The transformed basic function is [b][color=#ff0000]y = a(x - h)[sup]2[/sup] +k[/color][/b][br][b][color=#ff0000][size=150][br]Note[/size][/color][/b]: The 'slider' feature on the x-y coordinate plane can be used to change the [color=#ff0000][b]a, h, and k[/b][/color] values [br]           for the following exercises.  To do so, place the cursor and hold it on the dot of the slider and [br]           slide it to the desired m and b values.[br]           To move the slider to a different location on the x-y plane, place the cursor and hold it on the line [br]           of the slider and move it to the desired location.[br][br][b][color=#ff00ff]Note: You can zoom in or out with the mouse.[/color][/b]
