Transformations Flashcards
(5 cards)
order to look at transformations
1) dilations
2) reflections
3) tralslations
dilations
stretches and compressions in vertical (y) and horizontal (x) directions
LOOK AT Y=F(X)
vertical (y) –> y=Kf(x)
Hotizontal (x)–> y=f(kx)
in horizontal k becomes 1/k
Reflections
In x axis
y= -f(x)
graph gets flipped upside down
In y axis
y=f(-x)
graph gets flipped left/ right
translations
Translation vertically (y)
(upward or downward)
y=f(x)+K
if K is positive -> graph shifts up
if K is negative - > graph shifts down
Translation horizontally (x)
(left or right)
y=f(x+k)
if K is positive -> graph moves to the left by k units
if K is negative graph moves to the right by k units
summarise
Transformations of Function Graphs
-f (x)
reflect f (x) over the x-axis
f (-x)
reflect f (x) over the y-axis
f (x) + k
shift f (x) up k units
f (x) - k
shift f (x) down k units
f (x + k)
shift f (x) left k units
f (x - k)
shift f (x) right k units
k*f (x)
multiply y-values by k
f (kx)
divide x-values by k
