SUMMARY OF FUNCTION TRANSFORMATIONS The graph of = Af(B(t +h))+k is a transformation of the graph of = f(t). The transformations are done in the following order: B: The function stretches or compresses horizontall b a factor of 1 B. If B is negative, the function also reflects across the vertical ais. h: The function shifts horizontall b h units. If h > 0, the function shifts left. If h < 0, the function shifts right. A: The function stretches or compresses verticall b a factor of A. If A is negative, the function also reflects across the horizontal ais. k: The function shifts verticall b k units. If k > 0, the function shifts up. If k < 0, the function shifts down. **It can be helpful to remember BhAk as a wa of remembering the ordering. Other orderings are possible; this ordering, however, will work in all cases. Graph the transformations below b doing the following on graphing paper: Graph the basic function used in this transformation. (Eample: f() = ). Use our Librar of Functions Handout if necessar. State the series of transformations and the order in which the occur. Graph the transformation. Check our graph using the interactive GeoGebra applet located on the course webpage. You will also want to check our graph using a few of the input/ output pairs. Hand-sketched eamples are located under Contents. Full solutions to the eercises below are given in the net few pages.
