Example 1
What transformation of 
creates the following function?
Step 1. How does the a-value affect the graph?
An a-value of 2 will cause a dilation or stretching by a factor of 2 along the y-axis (steeper).
Step 2. How does the h-value affect the graph?
An h-value of 2 will cause a shift of 2 units left.
Step 3. How does the k-value affect the graph?
A k-value of -4 will cause a shift of 4 units down.
