Quick comprehension check
“A quadratic function has a vertex at (2, -3) and is vertically stretched by a factor of 4. Write the equation of the transformed quadratic function in vertex form. A quadratic function has a vertex at (-1, 5) and is vertically compressed by a factor of ½. Write the equation of the transformed quadratic function in vertex form. ”
