The document provides instructions on graphing parabolas using vertex form and translations. It defines the vertex form of a parabola as y = a(x - h)2 + k, where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex. Examples show how to find the image of a parabola under a translation Th,k and graph parabolas by hand by determining the vertex and symmetrical y-values. Steps are given to graph a parabola as finding the vertex, symmetrical values, and filling in the graph.
