Investigating Vertical Stretches: Recall the affect of “a” for a Quadratic Math 30-1

Vertical Stretches: The effect of parameter a. A stretch changes the shape of the graph. (Translations changed the position of a graph.) Function Transformations: Vertical Stretch |a| describes a vertical stretch about the x-axis. An Invariant point is a point on a graph that remains unchanged after a transformation. 1.2A Vertical Stretches Math 30-1
