PreCalculus Summer Assignment (2018/2019) We are thrilled to have you join the Pre-Calculus family next year, and we want you to get a jump-start over the summer! You have learned so much valuable information in Math 1-3, that we do not want you to lose over the next three months! Pre-Calculus is more rigorous in nature, and it is vital that you understand the content in this summer assignment prior to the school year. This assignment is meant to take up a maximum of 30-60 minutes of your time each week. If you are struggling with a topic, try watching some videos on Khan Academy as a refresher or take advantage of lots of other great resources on the Internet. We encourage you to work with other classmates and to form study groups, but remember you are ultimately responsible for understanding the material. Try not to procrastinate your work until the last week of summer. This assignment will be due the first week of class. If you turn it in complete on the first day of school you will get bonus points. To receive full credit, please make sure you show ALL work! Please see the suggested pacing guide below to help you stay on track!

Function Transformations Vertical Translations A shift may be referred to as a translation. If c is added to the function, where the function becomes y = f(x) + c, then the graph of f(x) will vertically shift upward by c units. If c is subtracted from the function, where the function becomes y = f(x) c then the graph of f(x) will vertically shift downward by c units. In general, a vertical translation means that every point (x, y) on the graph of f(x) is transformed to (x, y + c) or (x, y c) on the graphs of y = f(x) + c or y = f(x) c respectively. Horizontal Translations If c is added to the variable of the function, where the function becomes y = f(x + c), then the graph of f(x)will horizontally shift to the left c units. If c is subtracted from the variable of the function, where the function becomes y = f(x c), then the graph of f(x) will horizontally shift to the right c units. In general, a horizontal translation means that every point (x, y) on the graph of is transformed to (x c, y) or (x + c, y) on the graphs of y = f(x + c) or y = f(x c) respectively. If the function or the variable of the function is multiplied by -1, the graph of the function will undergo a reflection. When the function is multiplied by -1 where y = f(x) becomes y = f(x), the graph of y = f(x) is reflected across the xaxis. Reflections On the other hand, if the variable is multiplied by -1, where y = f(x) becomes y = f( x), the graph of y = f(x) is reflected across the y-axis.
Function Transformations Vertical Stretching and Shrinking If c is multiplied to the function then the graph of the function will undergo a vertical stretching or compression. So when the function becomes y = cf(x) and 0 < c < 1, a vertical shrinking of the graph of y = f(x) will occur. Graphically, a vertical shrinking pulls the graph of y = f(x) toward the x-axis. When c > 1 in the functiony = cf(x), a vertical stretching of the graph of y = f(x) will occur. A vertical stretching pushes the graph of y = f(x)away from the x-axis. In general, a vertical stretching or shrinking means that every point (x, y) on the graph of f(x) is transformed to (x, cy) on the graph of y = cf(x). If c is multiplied to the variable of the function then the graph of the function will undergo a horizontal stretching or compression. So when the function becomes y = f(cx)and 0 < c < 1, a horizontal stretching of the graph of y = f(x) will occur. Graphically, a vertical stretching pulls the graph of y = f(x) away from the y-axis. When c > 1 in the function y = f(x), a horizontal shrinking of the graph of will occur. A horizontal shrinking pushes the graph of y = f(x) toward the y-axis. In general, a horizontal stretching or shrinking means that every point (x, y) on the graph of f(x) is transformed to (x/c, y) on the graph of y = f(cx). Horizontal Stretching and Shrinking
