EFFECTS OF

CHANGING
THE VALUE OF
A, H, AND K
 Competency
The learner analyzes the effects of changing
the values of a, h and k in
the equation of a quadratic function on its
graph.
 PARENT FUNCTION
Are function out of the group of functions that all the other
functions are derived from. They are the most basic form of
function in that group.
