Example 1 – Sketching Graphs of Transformed Functions


1. Given the graph of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = |𝑥|, describe how you would
graph 𝑔(𝑥 ) = −𝑓 (𝑥 − 3) + 4 using transformations.

2. a) Using transformations, sketch the graph of 𝑦 =


√2𝑥 + 4 + 1.

Hint: Rewrite 2𝑥 + 4 in factored form to determine the


horizontal translation.

Example 2 – Writing Equations of Transformed Functions
