This document discusses graph transformations including translations, reflections, stretchings, and shrinkings. It provides the mathematical operations to perform these transformations on functions and graphs them. Examples of transforming absolute value, cubic, square root and quadratic functions are given through translations, reflections, and stretchings. Homework problems are assigned from the textbook.

Subtract x c
Add x + c
Vertical Shifts
( ) f x c
( ) f x c
Shift graph up c units
Shift graph down c units
Add y + c
Subtract y c
Reflection about
the x-axis

Reflect the graph over the
x-axis
Multiply y by -1
Reflection about
the y-axis
( ) f x
Reflect the graph over the
y-axis
Multiply x by -1
Vertical Stretch ( ) cf x , where 1 c Vertically stretch the graph Multiply y by c
Vertical
Compression
( ) cf x , where 0 1 c
Vertically compress the
graph
Multiply y by c
Horizontal
Stretch
( ) f cx , where 0 1 c
Horizontally stretch the
graph
Divide x by c

Compression
( ) f cx , where 1 c
Horizontally compress the
graph
Divide x by c
