Solution Since the basic graph is the vertex of the parabola is shifted right 4 units. Since the coefficient of is –3, the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of 3 and then reflected across the x- axis. The constant +5 indicates the vertex shifts up 5 units. shift 4 units right shift 5 units up vertical stretch by a factor of 3 reflect across the x-axis

Changing the order of a stretch and shift can result in a different equation and graph. –For example, the graph of is obtained by first stretching the graph of by a factor of 2, and then translating 3 units upward. –The graph of is obtained by first translating horizontally 3 units to the left, and then stretching by a factor of 2.

Slide 2.3-9 2.3 Transformations on a Calculator- Generated Graph Example The figures show two views of the graph and another graph illustrating a combination of transformations. Find the equation of the transformed graph. Solution The first view indicates the lowest point is (3,–2), a shift 3 units to the right and 2 units down. The second view shows the point (4,1) on the graph of the transformation. Thus, the slope of the ray is Thus, the equation of the transformed graph is First ViewSecond View
