Graph and describe transformations to quadratic functions in mathematical and real-world situations.
The core standards covered in this lesson
F.BF.B.3 — Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
8.G.A.3 — Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

In the Desmos activity, Will It Hit the Hoop?, watch the videos for Shots #2–4 on screens 5–7.
a. For each shot, predict if the ball will go in the basket. If you do not think it will go in the basket, name a transformation that could make it go in the basket.
b. Watch the videos on screens 20–22 to see the results of each shot. Were your predictions correct? Would the transformations you described make the ball go in the basket?

The graph of quadratic function $$f$$ below shows the path of a ball thrown. The $${y-}$$axis represents the vertical distance and the $${x-}$$axis represents the horizontal distance the ball has traveled. A wall is shown at $${x=5}$$ and has a height equal to $$2$$ units on the vertical axis.Â
Which of the following transformations is mostly likely to result in the ball clearing the wall? Select all that apply. Then explain your reasoning for each selection.Â
a.  $$f(x+4)$$
b.  $$f({x-}4)$$
c.  $$4f(x)$$
d.  $${1\over4}f(x)$$
e.  $$f(4x)$$
f.  $$f({1\over4}x)$$
The following resources include problems and activities aligned to the objective of the lesson that can be used for additional practice or to create your own problem set.
