1.4 Shifting, Reflecting, and Sketching Graphs Students will recognize graphs of common functions such as: Students will use vertical and horizontal shifts and reflections to graph functions. Students will use nonrigid transformations to graph functions.
2
Vertical and Horizontal Shifts Experiment with the following functions to determine how minor changes in the function alter the graphs:
3
Student Example If, make a guess and check with the calculator. Give the function that would move f(x): a)down 4 units b)left 3 units c)right 2 units and up 5 units
4
Vertical and Horizontal Shifts Let c be a positive real number. Vertical and horizontal shifts in the graph of y=f(x) are represented as follows: 1. Vertical shift c units upwards:h(x)=f(x)+c Ex. Moves up 2 units from 2. Vertical shift c units downward: h(x)=f(x)-c Ex.Moves down 2 units from 3. Horizontal shift c units to the right: h(x)=f(x-c) Ex.Moves right 2 units from 4. Horizontal shift c units to the left: h(x)=f(x+c) Ex.Moves left 2 units from

Example 1: Compare the graphs of each function with the graph of
6
Example 2 The graph of is shown in Figure 1.44. Each of the graphs in Figure 1.45 is a transformation of the graph of f. Find an equation for each function. y=g(x)y=h(x)
7
Student Example: What must be done to the point (x,y) to reflect over the x-axis and the y-axis. y » (x,y). » x
8
Reflections in the Coordinate Axes Reflections in the coordinate axes of the graph of y = f(x) are represented as follows. 1.Reflection in the x – axis:h(x) = -f(x) 2.Reflection in the y – axis:h(x) = f(-x)
9
Student Example Find an equation that will: a)reflect f(x) over the x-axis. b)Reflect f(x) over the y-axis.
10
Example 3 The graph of is shown. Each graph shown is a transformation of the graph of f. Find an equation for each function. f(x)y=g(x)y=h(x)
11
Example 4 Compare the graph of each function with the graph of a.b.c.
12
Example 5: Nonrigid Transformations Compare the graph of each function with the graph of a.b.
13
Example 6 Compare the graph of with the graph of

Tuition has risen at private colleges. The table lists the average tuition for selected years. Use a non-rigid transformation of a linear function to best fit the data: Use the function to predict the cost of tuition during your freshmen year of college. Does it seem accurate?
