This example demonstrates how to transform a parabola's equation by adjusting its position and shape through parameters. Key math concepts include parabola equations, parameter transformations, and coordinate geometry. It utilizes GeoGebra commands/objects like a (parameter), h (horizontal shift), k (vertical shift), and f (function expression). Suitable for high school students learning function graph transformations, and also for teaching calculus and coordinate geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(1)
  2. Numeric h(1)
  3. Numeric k(1)
  4. f(x) = (a * (x - h)^(2)) + k
