5. Reflect the resulting figure over the y-axis.
6. Shrink the original figure vertically by a factor of 1/2, translate the result 3 units down and left 5 units.

An Explanation• To translate a figure to the left 5 units
• New x list = old x list – 5
• To translate a figure to the right 3 units• New x list = old x list + 3
• To slide a figure 6 units down• New y list = old y list – 6
• To reflect a figure over the x-axis• New y list = - (old y list)
• To vertically stretch a figure by factor k• New y list = k(old y list)

Original equation y = x2
• To move a function 3 units right we must replace the old x in the original equation with x – 3.
y = (x – 3)2
• Similarly to move a function 2 units left we must replace the old x in the equation with x + 2.
y = (x + 2 )2
• To move a function to the right 3 units new x = old x + 3
or old x = new x – 3
• And to move a function 2 units down we must replace the old y in the equation with y + 2. y + 2 = x2 or y = x2 – 2
Make my graph
y = -2(x + 3)2 + 5 y = -(x – 1)2 + 3
y = 0.5(x – 3)2 y = -(x + 2)2 + 4

Program:CBRSET
• Prompt S,N
• round (S/N, 5)I
• If I > 0.2:-0.25 int(-4I) I
• Send ({0})
• Send ({1, 11, 2, 0, 0, 0})
• Send({3, I, N, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1})
CBR will collect 40 data pairs in 6 seconds
Program:CBRGET
• Send ({5,1})
• Get (L2)
• Get (L1)
• Plot 1 (Scatter, L1, L2, · )
• ZoomStat
Program will transfer data from CBR, set window, and plot graph on your calculator
Ask a kid to walk a parabola
A single ball bounce• Set CBR to collect 20 data points during one second.• Drop a ball from a height of about 0.5 meters and trigger
the CBR from about 0.5 meters above the ball. Transfer data to all calculators.
• Model your parabola with an equation of the form
y = a(x – h)2 + k
Find a by trial & error or find a by substituting another choice of x and y.
Modeling provides students with
• a logical reason for learning algebra- kids don’t
ask “When am I ever going to use this?”
• Students can gain important conceptual understandings and build up their “bank” of basic symbolic algebra skills.
• an integration of algebra with geometry, statistics, data analysis, functions, probability, and trigonometry.

A Case for Vertex Form
• y = a(x – h)2 + k– Vertex is visible at (h, k)– Easy to approximate the value of a– Supports the order of operations– Easy to solve for x (by undoing)

• Place the CBR at the high end of the table.
• Roll the can up from the low end. It should get no closer than 0.5 meters to the CBR.
• Collect data for about 6 seconds.
