3. 2.7 - 3 Example 1 STRETCHING OR SHRINKING A GRAPH Graph the function Solution Comparing the table of values for  (x) =  x  and g (x) = 2  x , we see that for corresponding x- values, the y-values of g are each twice those of . So the graph of g (x) is narrower than that of  (x). a. x (x)x(x)x g(x)2xg(x)2x – 2– 224 – 1– 112 000 112 224

5. 2.7 - 5 Example 1 STRETCHING OR SHRINKING A GRAPH Solution The graph of h(x) is also the same general shape as that of  (x), but here the coefficient ½ causes the graph of h(x) to be wider than the graph of  (x), as we see by comparing the tables of values. b. x  (x) |x| h ( x) ½ |x| – 2– 221 – 1– 11½ 000 11½ 221

7. 2.7 - 7 Example 1 STRETCHING OR SHRINKING A GRAPH Solution Use Property 2 of absolute value to rewrite c. Property 2 The graph of k(x) =  2  is the same as the graph of k (x) = 2  x  in part a.

8. 2.7 - 8 Vertical Stretching or Shrinking of the Graph of a Function Suppose that a > 0. If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of y =  (x), then the point (x, ay) lies on the graph of y = a  (x). a.If a > 1, then the graph of y = a  (x) is a vertical stretching of the graph of y =  (x). b.If 0 < a <1, then the graph of y = a  (x) is a vertical shrinking of the graph of y =  (x)

9. 2.7 - 9 Horizontal Stretching or Shrinking of the Graph of a Function Suppose a > 0. If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of y =  (x), then the point (, y) lies on the graph of y =  (ax). a.If 0 < a < 1, then the graph of y =  (ax) is horizontal stretching of the graph of y =  (x). b.If a > 1, then the graph of y =  (ax) is a horizontal shrinking of the graph of y =  (x).

10. 2.7 - 10 Reflecting Forming a mirror image of a graph across a line is called reflecting the graph across the line.

11. 2.7 - 11 Example 2 REFLECTING A GRAPH ACROSS AN AXIS Graph the function. Solution Every y- value of the graph is the negative of the corresponding y-value of a. x (x)(x) g(x)g(x) 000 11– 1– 1 22– 2– 2

13. 2.7 - 13 Example 2 REFLECTING A GRAPH ACROSS AN AXIS Graph the function. Solution If we choose x-values for h(x) that are the negatives of those we use for  (x), the corresponding y- values are the same. The graph h is a reflection of the graph  across the y-axis. b. x (x)(x) h(x)h(x) – 4– 4undefined2 – 1– 1 1 000 11 42

14. 2.7 - 14 Example 2 REFLECTING A GRAPH ACROSS AN AXIS Graph the function. b. x (x)(x) h(x)h(x) – 4– 4undefined2 – 1– 1 1 000 11 42 1 2 3 – 2– 2 3 – 2– 2 4 – 3– 3 – 4– 4 – 3– 3 – 4– 4 4 x y

15. 2.7 - 15 Reflecting Across an Axis The graph of y = –  (x) is the same as the graph of y =  (x) reflected across the x-axis. (If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of y =  (x), then (x, – y) lies on this reflection. The graph of y =  (– x) is the same as the graph of y =  (x) reflected across the y-axis. (If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of y =  (x), then (– x, y) lies on this reflection.)

16. 2.7 - 16 Symmetry with Respect to An Axis The graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis if the replacement of x with – x results in an equivalent equation. The graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the x-axis if the replacement of y with – y results in an equivalent equation.

17. 2.7 - 17 Example 3 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO AN AXIS Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Solution Replace x with – x. a. Equivalent 2 – 2– 2 4 x y

18. 2.7 - 18 Example 3 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO AN AXIS Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Solution The result is the same as the original equation and the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. a. Equivalent

19. 2.7 - 19 Example 3 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO AN AXIS Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Solution Replace y with – y. b. Equivalent

20. 2.7 - 20 Example 3 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO AN AXIS Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Solution The graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. b. Equivalent 2 – 2– 2 4 x y

21. 2.7 - 21 Example 3 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO AN AXIS Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Solution Substituting – x for x and – y in for y, we get (– x) 2 + y 2 = 16 and x 2 + (– y) 2 = 16. Both simplify to x 2 + y 2 = 16. The graph, a circle of radius 4 centered at the origin, is symmetric with respect to both axes. c.

22. 2.7 - 22 Example 3 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO AN AXIS Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Solution In 2x + y = 4, replace x with – x to get – 2x + y = 4. Replace y with – y to get 2x – y = 4. Neither case produces an equivalent equation, so this graph is not symmetric with respect to either axis. d.

23. 2.7 - 23 Symmetry with Respect to the Origin The graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the origin if the replacement of both x with – x and y with – y results in an equivalent equation.

24. 2.7 - 24 Example 4 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGIN Is this graph symmetric with respect to the origin? Solution Replace x with – x and y with – y. a. Equivalent Use parentheses around – x and – y The graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

25. 2.7 - 25 Example 4 TESTING FOR SYMMETRY WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGIN Is this graph symmetric with respect to the origin? Solution Replace x with – x and y with – y. b. Equivalent The graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

26. 2.7 - 26 Important Concepts 1.A graph is symmetric with respect to both x- and y-axes is automatically symmetric with respect to the origin. 2.A graph symmetric with respect to the origin need not be symmetric with respect to either axis. 3.Of the three types of symmetry  with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin  a graph possessing any two must also exhibit the third type.

27. 2.7 - 27 Symmetry with Respect to: x-axisy-axisOrigin Equation is unchanged if: y is replaced with – y x is replaced with – x x is replaced with – x and y is replaced with – y Example 0 x y 0 x y 0 x y

28. 2.7 - 28 Even and Odd Functions A function  is called an even function if  (– x) =  (x) for all x in the domain of . (Its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.) A function  is called an odd function is  (– x) = –  (x) for all x in the domain of . (Its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.)

29. 2.7 - 29 Example 5 DETERMINING WHETHER FUNCTIONS ARE EVEN, ODD, OR NEITHER Decide whether each function defined is even, odd, or neither. Solution Replacing x in  (x) = 8x 4 – 3x 2 with – x gives: a. Since  (– x) =  (x) for each x in the domain of the function,  is even.

30. 2.7 - 30 Example 5 DETERMINING WHETHER FUNCTIONS ARE EVEN, ODD, OR NEITHER Decide whether each function defined is even, odd, or neither. Solution b. The function  is odd because  (– x) = –  (x).

31. 2.7 - 31 Example 5 DETERMINING WHETHER FUNCTIONS ARE EVEN, ODD, OR NEITHER Decide whether each function defined is even, odd, or neither. Solution c. Since  (– x) ≠  (x) and  (– x) ≠ –  (x),  is neither even nor odd. Replace x with – x

32. 2.7 - 32 Example 6 TRANSLATING A GRAPH VERTICALLY Solution Graph g (x) =  x  – 4 x (x)(x) g(x)g(x) – 4– 440 – 1– 11– 3– 3 00– 4– 4 11– 3– 3 440 4 – 4– 4 (0, – 4) x y

35. 2.7 - 35 Horizontal Translations

36. 2.7 - 36 Horizontal Translations If a function g is defined by g (x) =  (x – c), where c is a real number, then for every point (x, y) on the graph of , there will be a corresponding point (x + c) on the graph of g. The graph of g will be the same as the graph of , but translated c units to the right if c is positive or  c  units to the left if c is negative. The graph is called a horizontal translation of the graph of .

37. 2.7 - 37 Caution Be careful when translating graphs horizontally. To determine the direction and magnitude of horizontal translations, find the value that would cause the expression in parentheses to equal 0. For example, the graph of y = (x – 5) 2 would be translated 5 units to the right of y = x 2, because x = + 5 would cause x – 5 to equal 0. On the other hand, the graph of y = (x + 5) 2 would be translated 5 units to the left of y = x 2, because x = – 5 would cause x + 5 to equal 0.

38. 2.7 - 38 Example 8 USING MORE THAN ONE TRNASFORMATION ON GRAPHS Graph the function. Solution To graph this, the lowest point on the graph of y =  x  is translated 3 units to the left and up one unit. The graph opens down because of the negative sign in front of the absolute value expression, making the lowest point now the highest point on the graph. The graph is symmetric with respect to the line x = – 3. a.

42. 2.7 - 42 Example 8 USING MORE THAN ONE TRNASFORMATION ON GRAPHS Graph the function. Solution It will have the same shape as that of y = x 2, but is wider (that is, shrunken vertically) and reflected across the x-axis because of the negative coefficient and then translated 4 units up. c.

In comparison with the graph of y =  (x): 1.The graph of y =  (x) + k is translated k units up. 2.The graph of y =  (x) – k is translated k units down. 3.The graph of y =  (x + h) is translated h units to the left. 4.The graph of y =  (x – h) is translated h units to the right. 5.The graph of y = a  (x) is a vertical stretching of the graph of y =  (x) if a > 1. It is a vertical shrinking if 0 < a < 1. 6.The graph of y =  (ax) is a horizontal stretching of the graph of y =  (x) if 0 1. 7.The graph of y = –  (x) is reflected across the x-axis. 8.The graph of y =  (– x) is reflected across the y-axis.
