If f(x) = x 2 and g(x) = ax 2, then the ordered pairs for g(x) can be determined by applying the following adjustment to those from f(x). f(x) = x 2 xf(x) xg(x) g(x) = 2x 2

Parameter ‘b’ increases from 1 to 2 Function compresses horizontally

Parameter ‘b’ decreases from 1 to 0.5 Function stretches horizontally

Parameter ‘b’ changes from 1 to -1 Parabola inverts horizontally

Parameter ‘b’ increases from 1 to 2 f(x) = |x| f(x) = |2x| Function compresses horizontally

Parameter ‘b’ decreases from 1 to ½ f(x) = |x| f(x) = |½x| Function stretches horizontally

If f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |bx|, then the ordered pairs for g(x) can be determined by applying the following adjustment to those from f(x). Impact of parameter ‘b’ -Horizontal Scale change As ‘b’ moves further from zero, the function compresses horizontally As ‘b’ moves closer to zero, the function stretches horizontally If parameter ‘b’ changes its sign, the graph will invert horizontally f(x) = |x| xf(x) xg(x) g(x) = |2x|

Parameter ‘h’ increases from 0 to 4 Function translates 4 units to the right

Parameter ‘h’ decreases from 0 to -7 Function translates horizontally 7 units to the left

If f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |x - h|, then the ordered pairs for g(x) can be determined by applying the following adjustment to those from f(x). Impact of parameter ‘h’ -Horizontal Translation As ‘h’ increases from zero, the function translates to the right As ‘h’ decreases from zero, the function translates to the left f(x) = |x| xf(x) xg(x) g(x) = |x + 2|

f(x) = x 2 f(x) = x Parameter ‘k’ increases from 0 to 2 Parabola translates vertically up 2 units

Parameter ‘k’ decreases from 0 to -7 Function translates vertically 7 units down

Parameter ‘k’ increases from 0 to 3 Function translates 3 units up

If f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |x| + k, then the ordered pairs for g(x) can be determined by applying the following adjustment to those from f(x). Impact of parameter ‘k’ -Vertical Translation As ‘k’ increases from zero, the function translates up As ‘k’ decreases from zero, the function translates down f(x) = |x| xf(x) xg(x) g(x) = |x| + 2
