\n" ); document.write( "To represent an exponent using your keyboard, type the symbol ^\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Example:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 means \"x%5E2\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = x^2 is the parent quadratic function
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x^2 vertically stretches the curve by a factor of 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(x-5)^2 shifts the curve 5 units to the right
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(x-5)^2+10 shifts the curve 10 unit up\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graph:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 in red
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 in green

\n" ); document.write( "I recommend using either Desmos or GeoGebra as a graphing tool.
\n" ); document.write( "Both of which are free.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Take notice how the vertex (0,0) in the parent function has been shifted 5 units right and 10 units up to arrive at (5,10) on the final result.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x^2+12x-4 is of the form y = ax^2+bx+c
\n" ); document.write( "where,
\n" ); document.write( "a = 2
\n" ); document.write( "b = 12
\n" ); document.write( "c = -4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the first two values to find the following

\n" ); document.write( "h = -12/(2*2)
\n" ); document.write( "h = -3
\n" ); document.write( "This is the x coordinate of the vertex (h,k)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use that to find the y coordinate of the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x^2+12x-4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(-3)^2+12(-3)-4
\n" ); document.write( "y = -22
\n" ); document.write( "The k value is k = -22\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The vertex is located at (h,k) = (-3,-22)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "y = a(x-h)^2 + k
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(x-(-3))^2 + (-22)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2(x+3)^2 - 22
\n" ); document.write( "represents the vertex form.\r
