This example demonstrates the transformation of a quadratic function under dilation. Key math concepts include dilation transformation, properties of quadratic functions, centroid or barycenter, special points, and complex numbers. Construction highlights the use of GeoGebra objects: a (dilation factor), d (graph), text1 (text label), and c (center point). Suitable for middle school and above students to understand the relationship between function transformations and geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(1)
  2. y = (x + 1)^(2) - 2
  3. y = (a * ((x + 1)^(2) - 2))
