ACTIVITY 24
1. 𝑎 = −2
Since 𝑎 = −2 < 0, the parabola opens downward. And since |𝑎| = 2 > 1, its graph is narrower
than the graph of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 .

2. 𝑎 = 9
Since 𝑎 = 9 > 0, the parabola opens upward. And since |𝑎| = 9 > 1, its graph is narrower than
the graph of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 .
 ACTIVITY 25
1. The graph of quadratic function of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 is shifted,

● 1 unit upward to derive the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 + 1

● 4 units upward to derive the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 + 4
● 2 units downward to derive the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 − 2

2. 𝑦 = (𝑥 − 3)2 + 5 is shifted 7 units to the right to

derive the graph of 𝑦 = (𝑥 − 10)2 + 5.

𝑦 = (𝑥 − 10)2 + 5
