3.5 Graph Transformations
Transformations are when we make changes to the base functions from Section
3.4 to graph more complicated functions.
Methods
- Horizontal and vertical shifts
- Compressions and stretches
- Reflections about the x-axis or y-axis
Order of Transformations
1. Honda horizontal shifts
2. Sells stretches/compressions
3. R reflections
4. Vs vertical shifts
Vertical Translations vs. Horizontal Translations
Change f(x) or y Change x
Shifts
Vertical
Up Add to f(x) i.e.
Down Subtract
from f(x)
i.e.
Horizontal
Left Add x i.e.
Right Subtract
from x
i.e.
