8.3 – Graphing f(x) = ax² + bx + c
Students will graph general quadratic functions in standard form using key features like vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts (A.7A, A.7C).
8.4 – Graphing f(x) = a(x − h)² + k
Students will graph quadratic functions in vertex form and describe the effects of a, h, and k on the graph (A.7C).
8.5 – Using Intercept Form

3.7 – Transformations of Graphs of Linear Functions
Students will describe and apply transformations to linear graphs, including shifts and reflections (A.3D).
8.6 – Comparing Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Functions
Students will compare and contrast key features of linear, exponential, and quadratic functions in real-world contexts (A.9A, A.9C).
