3. Stretching and Shrinking

4. Misc. Transformations (Combinations)

1. Translations

Let’s sketch the graphs of given functions below. Investigate the values for each equation.

𝑦 = 𝑥! 𝑦 = 𝑥! + 1 𝑦 = (𝑥 − 1)!

x y (x,y) x y (x,y) x y (x,y)


0 0 0
1 1 1
-1 -1 1
2 2 4
-2 -2 4

Now let’s write these equations as functions:

𝑦 = 𝑥! 𝑦 = 𝑥! + 1 𝑦 = (𝑥 − 1)!
𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥! …………… ……………
……………
1. Translations

We can do these translations at the same time:

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 ! … … = (𝑥 − 1)! +2

𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥!
a. Write down:

𝑖. 𝑓 𝑥 + 2 𝑖𝑖. 𝑓 𝑥 − 3 𝑖𝑖𝑖. 𝑓 𝑥 + 6

Graph y = f(x) and the other three functions on the


same set of axes.
Record your observations.

b. Write down:
𝑖. 𝑓 𝑥 − 2 𝑖𝑖. 𝑓 𝑥 + 3 𝑖𝑖𝑖. 𝑓 𝑥 − 6

Graph y = f (x) and the other three functions on the


same set of axes. Record your
observations.

Essential Questions: (Pair Activity – 2 min.)


1. How did the graph change vertically?
2. How did the graph change horizontally?
3. Has the shape of the graph changed? Expanded? Shrunk?

2. Reflections

For given function below, find:


𝑔 𝑥 = 2𝑥 ! − 6𝑥 " + 3
a. the function h(x) that is the reflection
of g(x) in the x-axis.
b. the function p(x) that is the reflection
of g(x) in the y-axis.

3. Stretching and Shrinking

A stretch can
also be called
a dilation

Sketch the following functions:

𝑓 𝑥 =2𝑥 f 𝑥 = 0.5 𝑥
