Transformations Flashcards
Base function: f(x)=x^2
What does the following do to a graph?
g(x)=x^2+3
Vertical shift
What is true about the reflection -f(x)?
All output values change signs (across x axis)
What is true about the reflection f(-x)?
All input values change sides (across y axis)
What is true about the shift f(x)=(x-3) ?
Horizontal Shift 3 to the right
Vertical stretch or shrink is
Outside of function
3f(x)= vertical stretch
1/3f(x)= vertical shrink
f(1/3x) represents?
HORIZONTAL STRETCH
f(3x) represents?
HORIZONTAL SHRINK
Steps for transforming
1.) Translate horizontally
2.) stretch or shrink
3.) Reflect
4.) shift
To graph y=f(x-c), shift y=f(x) to the ______ c units
Right
To graph y=f(x+c), shift y=f(x) to the ______ c units
Left
y=af(x)
Vertically stretch/shrink
y=f(ax)
Horizontally stretch/shrink
y=-f(x) reflects y=f(x) along the _____ axis
X
y=f(-x) reflects y=f(x) along the _____ axis
Y
y=f(x) + c shifts y=f(x) ____ c units
Up
y=f(x)-c shifts y=f(x) ____ c units
Down
