Investigate the effect of changing the base, dilations, and translations for the graph:
a = base
A = dilation from the x axis
b = dilation from the y axis
h = horizontal translation
k = vertical translation

Learn about graphing polynomials. The shape of the curve changes as the constants are adjusted. View the curves for the individual terms (e.g. y=bx ) to see how they add to generate the polynomial curve.
