One form of a quadratic function is f(x)= a(x-b)^2 + c. Use this for the following questions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The best way to learn this is use a graphing calc like Ti83
\n" ); document.write( "Use this example
\n" ); document.write( "Enter
\n" ); document.write( "y1 = 2(x-3)^2 + 4; Use this equation as a reference
\n" ); document.write( "y2 = 2(x-3)^2 + 4; Make changes in a, b, c on this equation
\n" ); document.write( "Observe what changes in a, b, c do to the qraphs
\n" ); document.write( "Should look like the graphs below
