5) What family of functions does graph B belong to? List some characteristics of that family.
Function B
Use a sheet of patty paper to trace function B.
Translate the function vertically and
horizontally. While you translate the function,
make observations about the intercepts.
6) What happens to the intercepts as you
translate the function horizontally only?
7) Are there the same number of intercepts?
8) What happens to the intercepts as you translate Function B down?
9) What happens to the intercepts as you translate Function B upwards? Explain clearly what
will happen to the number of intercepts.
10) How many x intercepts do the graphs of quadratic functions have? Answer completely.
