1.6 Graph Transformations Shelby Sell Sammie Meddaugh Emily Wojahn

INTRODUCTION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXlll46ADAA

Vocabulary Transformation: Functions that map real number to real numbers. Rigid Transformations: Leave the side and shape of the graph unchanged (horizontal and vertical translations, reflections). Non Rigid Transformations: Distort the shape of a graph (horizontal or vertical stretches and shapes).

Translations If c is a positive real number: Horizontal y= f(x-c) A translation to the right by c units y= f(x+c) A translation to the right by c units Vertical y= f(x) + c A translation up by c units y= f(x) - c A translation down by c units

Examples y= abs(x) y= abs(x – 2) 2 y= x2 y= x2 + 3

Reflections Across the x-axis (x,y) (x,-y) y= -f(x) Across the y-axis (x,y) (-x,y) y= f(-x) Through the origin (x,y) (-x.-y) y= -f(-x)

Examples Reflection over y= x axis Reflection over y axis Reflection over x axis

Stretches/Shrinks y= f (x/c) y= c f(x) Horizontal Stretch/Shrink A stretch by a factor of c if c>1 A shrink by a factor of c if c<1 Vertical Stretch/Shrink A stretch by a factor of c if c> 1 y= f (x/c) y= c f(x)

Examples y = x² Vertical Stretches Graph y = 3x² Graph of y = x² Multiply all red values by 3 to get coordinates for the new graph. "Transformations on the Basic Parabola." W.A.E.C.E. Math Help. N.p., n.d. Web.

Solution to y = 3x² Graph of y = x² with a stretch of 3.

Combining Transformations in Order 1.) Horizontal shift 2 units to the right y=(x-2) ² 2.) Stretch Vertically by factor 3 y=3(x-2) ² 3.) Vertical Translation 5 units up y=3(x-2) ² +5 Given y=x²

1.) Horizontal shift 2 units to the right y=(x-2) ²

2.) Stretch Vertically by factor 3 y=3(x-2) ²

3.) Vertical Translation 5 units up y=3(x-2) ² +5

Absolute Value- Distance Y= f(x) Entire functions absolute value (change negative y values to positive) Y= - f(x) Only Negative y values

More absolute value

1.) Assessment A) y = ½x2 + 2 B) y = 3x2 + 2 C) y = 3(x + 2)2 D) y = ½(x + 2)2

2.) C) y = 2(x - 3)2 A) y = ½(x - 3)2 D) y = 2(x + 3)2 B) y = ½(x + 3)2

3.) C y = 2(x + 1)4 A y = 0.5(x + 1)4 D y = 2(x - 1)4 B y = 0.5(x - 1)4

7.) TRUE OR FALSE? The function y=f(x+3) represents a translation to the right by 3 units of the graph of y = f(x).

8.) TRUE OR FALSE? The function of y=f(x)-4 represents a translation down 4 units of the graph of y=f(x)
