- Start with the table of values and graph of y = x²

- For a quadratic function ax² + bx + c

if a > 1 the result is a vertical stretch of y = x²

if  0 < a < 1 (a is between 0 and 1) the result is a vertical compression of  y = x²

if a is a negative number, the result is a reflection of y = x² in the x-axis
