Quadratic and exponential functions: vertex, zeros, growth and decay, and how transformations move a graph.

All skills

What this skill tests

  • Quadratic functions: vertex, zeros, axis of symmetry
  • Exponential growth and decay
  • Transformations of graphs

How to approach it

  1. 1Vertex form a(x - h)² + k shows the vertex at (h, k).
  2. 2In exponential models, the base is 1 plus the growth rate or 1 minus the decay rate.
  3. 3Click a graph in Desmos to see its zeros and vertex.
