In this part you do not have to sketch the graph and you may even be given the sketch of the graph to start with. For a quadratic equation of the form \(y = k{(x - a)^2} + b\), the following diagram ...

Approaching negative infinity: The graph falls indefinitely as x approaches positive or negative infinity. Approaching a horizontal asymptote: The graph approaches a horizontal line as x approaches ...

Look for Key Features: Identify critical points and characteristics such as intercepts, vertices, asymptotes, and symmetry. Test Points: Choose a few points on the graph and plug their coordinates ...
