The Transformations of the Parabola - 'a, h and k'
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the effect that parameters a, h, and k have on the basic parabola y=x^2. Core mathematical concepts include: parabolic equations and coordinate geometry transformations. Key points in construction: Uses GeoGebra command Point with objects including h, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, d, A, B, C, D, text1, text1_1, text1_2, text1_3, text1_5, text2, a, k, c, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5. Suitable for high school mathematics courses to help students understand the basic shape and transformations of parabolas.
