4. Core Vocabulary
Family of Functions— a group of functions with similar characteristics
Parent Function— the most basic function in a family of functions
the parent function of all linear functions is f(x) = x

5. Core Vocabulary
Transformation— changes the size, shape, position, or orientation of a graph.

23. Combining Transformations
Core Concept
Combining Transformations
Step 1: Translate the graph horizontally h units .
Step 2: Use “a” to stretch or shrink the resulting graph from step 1. .
Step 3: Reflect the graph from step 2 when a<0 (when a is negative) .
Step 4: Translate the graph from step 3 vertically k units

24. Example 5. Let f(x) = x. Graph h(x)= –2x + 3.
Describe the transformations from graph of f to the graph of h.
Make a table of values to help students see the tranformation.

25. Example 6.
A cable company charges customers $60 per month for its service, with no installation fee. The cost to a customer is represented by c(m) = 60m, where m is the number of months of service. To attract new customers, the cable company reduces the monthly fee to $30 but adds an installation fee of $45. The cost to a new customer is represented by r(m) = 30m +45, where m is the number of months of service. Describe the transformations from the graph of c to the graph of r.
Make a table of values to help students see the tranformation.
