Parabolas with Sliders - Impact of the c value
Move the "c" slider so that it is greater than 0. How did the graph change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]? How did the equation change?
The graph shifted [i]c [/i]units up. The [i]c [/i]unit was added to [math]x^2[/math].
Move the "c" slider so that it is less than 0. How did the graph change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]? How did the equation change?
The graph shifted [i]c [/i]units down. The [i]c [/i]unit was subtracted from [math]x^2[/math].
Consider [math]y=\left(x-3\right)^2+1[/math]. How would you expect the graph change compared to [math]y=x^2[/math]? Move the sliders and see!
The graph will shift three units right and one unit up.
