1 Determine whether a graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin. Determine whether a function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. Given the graph of a function, graph its transformation using horizontal and vertical shift, reflection, stretching, and shrinking. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

2 Symmetry Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Algebraic Tests of Symmetry x-axis: If replacing y with  y produces an equivalent equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. y-axis: If replacing x with  x produces an equivalent equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Origin: If replacing x with  x and y with  y produces an equivalent equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

3 Example Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Test y = x 2 + 2 for symmetry with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin. x-axis: We replace y with  yy-axis: We replace x with  x Origin: We replace x with  x and y with  y:

6 Even and Odd Functions Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley If the graph of a function f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, we say that it is an even function. That is, for each x in the domain of f, f(x) = f(  x). If the graph of a function f is symmetric with respect to the origin, we say that it is an odd function. That is, for each x in the domain of f, f(  x) =  f(x).

7 Example Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Determine whether the function is even, odd, or neither. y = x 4  4x 2

10 Vertical Translation Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Vertical Translation For b > 0, the graph of y = f(x) + b is the graph of y = f(x) shifted up b units. The graph of y = f(x)  b is the graph of y = f(x) shifted down b units. y = 3x 2 – 3 y = 3x 2 y = 3x 2 +2

11 Horizontal Translation Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Horizontal Translation For d > 0, the graph of y = f(x  d) is the graph of y = f(x) shifted right d units; The graph of y = f(x + d) is the graph of y = f(x) shifted left d units. y = 3x 2 y = (3x – 2) 2 y = (3x + 2) 2

13 Reflections Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley The graph of y =  f(x) is the reflection of the graph of y = f(x) across the x-axis. The graph of y = f(  x) is the reflection of the graph of y = f(x) across the y-axis.

15 Example Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Reflection of the graph y = x 3  2x 2 across the y-axis. y = x 3  2x 2 y = -x 3 + 2x 2

16 Vertical Stretching and Shrinking Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley The graph of y = af (x) can be obtained from the graph of y = f(x) by stretching vertically for |a| > 1, or shrinking vertically for 0 < |a| < 1. For a < 0, the graph is also reflected across the x-axis. (The y-coordinates of the graph of y = af (x) can be obtained by multiplying the y-coordinates of y = f(x) by a.)

17 Examples Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison Wesley Stretch y = x 3 – x vertically.
