Graph transformations of x-squared functions

Plot a transformation of an x-squared function using the grapher:

1. Step 1. Select the x-squared tool.
2. Step 2. Drag the point to locate the basic function.
3. Step 3. To stretch/shrink the curve vertically/horizontally, use the slider or change the value in the text box.
4. Step 4. To shift the entire curve horizontally/vertically, use the slider.
5. Step 5. To reflect the entire function over the x- or y-axis, select the x/y check box.

You can add more than 1 function to your graph.
