Reflections of a Quadratic Function

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Students are asked to explain the relationship between f(s) and f (-x). They are asked to determine how the equation of f(x) differs from the equation of f(-x). Students determine the conditions when f(x) is the same as f(-x). They graph...
