This document discusses how changing the coefficients in a quadratic equation affects the graph of the parabola. It explores quadratic equations in standard form, y=ax^2 +bx+c, and examines how changing a, b, and c impacts the orientation, stretch factor, and vertex of the graph. Students are asked to sketch the path of a jackrabbit using a quadratic equation and label points to determine the values of h, k, and a.
