Investigate Graph Transformations With Sliders Guidance for Casio ClassPad

Another option for understanding how changes in the numbers affect the graph of $x^{2}$ is to enter the numbers as variables. Sliders will appear.

Step 1

Start with a clean window. Click anywhere in ClassPad to bring up the ClassPad menu. Then, select the graphing tool.

Select the function icon to enter the function.

Enter this equation in the function box: $y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$

Drag the sliders to see how the parameters (variables $a$ , $h$ , $k$ ) affect the graph.
