Section 1.3 Flashcards
y = f(x) + c
shifts graph c units upward
y = f(x) - c
shifts graph c units downward
y = f(x-c)
shifts graph c units to right
y = (f(x+c)
shifts graph c units to left
Translations
Vertical and Horizontal Shifts
Stretching and Reflecting
Vertical and Horizontal Stretching and Reflecting
y = cf(x)
stretch graph vertically by factor of c
y = (1/c)f(X)
shrinks graph vertically by factor of c
y = f(cx)
shrinks the graph horizontally by factor of c
y = f(x/c)
stretch graph horizontally by factor of c
y=-f(x)
reflects graph about x-axis
y=f(-x)
reflects graph about y-axis
Composite Function
Given two functions f and g, the composite function f (little circle) g (also called the composition of f and g) is defined by: (f (little circle) g)(x) = f(g(x)).
