Graphing
6. Graph the curve y = -2 (x-3)^2 + 5 by first verbally stating all of the transformations that take place and then graphing in such a way that you show each of the transformations along the way, and then put your final answer in a distinctive colour.
7. Graph the curve y = 1/2 x^2 + 4x + 6 by finding the coordinates of five key points and then graphing.
