So I was writing a school report for homework, and I then decided I want to explain what the different values in a function would do to a graph. Some of the simple ones I had was like linear functions using y=mx+c, where m changes the steepness of the line while c is where the line intercept the y-axis, or move the graph up or down.
I want to describe parabolas ( y = (ax+b)^2 + cx + d ), but i dont know how to explain it properly. The best i can do is:
a - Makes the graph wider or thinner
b - shift the graph left or right
c - does the same thing as b?
d - shift the graph up and down
Is there a better way to describe it?
