 * || Often while studying quadratic functions it is useful to model how the graphs of these functions change as their [|amplitude] (a), vertical displacement (k), and horizontal displacement (h).

The first EXCEL sheet shown above can be modified manually by entering values into the highlighted yellow column. Those changes are automatically updated on the blue [|graph] and reflected in the rebuilt [|equation] shown below. This spreadsheet's [|operation] does not require the enabling of macros. To [|run] the second EXCEL sheet you have to enable the use of macros to operate the sliders. The range for each slider has been optimized for supporting the spreadsheet's programming.
