Discovery

1.  Move slider (a) and take note of how f(x) changes. 2. On your Discovery Worksheet, describe the graph of f(x) when a is 0.5. 3. Describe the graph of f(x) when a is 2. 4. Describe the graph of f(x) when a is -1. 5. Move slider (a) to +1. 6. Move slider (k) to 2 and then -2. Describe what happened to f(x) when you moved slider (k). 7. Move slider (k) to 0. 8. Move slider (h) to 2 and then -2. Describe what happened to f(x) when you moved slider (h).
