1. Lesson 4-4 Stretching and Translating Graphs

2. Various functions ‘repeat’ a set of values.

3. Various functions repeat a set of values. Their graphs will be a repetition of a basic curve.

4. Period of the function:

5. The length of the x-cycle that it takes for the curve to repeat itself.

6. When p equals the period of the function (the interval of x-values it takes for a curve to repeat its cycle) we can say,

7. f(x+p) = f(x) for all x in the domain of x.

8. Example:

9. The graph of a periodic function f is shown on page 139. Find:

10. Example: The graph of a periodic function f is shown on page 139. Find: a) The fundamental period of f.

11. Example: The graph of a periodic function f is shown on page 139. Find: a) The fundamental period of f. If you start at the origin and follow the graph to the right, the graph takes 4 units to complete one up and-down cycle. So, the period is 4.

12. Example: The graph of a periodic function f is shown on page 139. Find: b) f(99)

13. Example: The graph of a periodic function f is shown on page 139. Find: b) f(99) If we take x = 99, divide by 4 (the period), we get 24 with a remainder of 3. Therefore, we can show: f(99) = f(4(24) + 3) = f(3) = - 2

14. If a periodic function has a maximum value M and a Minimum value m, then the amplitude of a function is given by:

15. If a periodic function has a maximum value M and a minimum value m, then the amplitude of a function is given by:

16. If a periodic function has a maximum value M and a minimum value m, then the amplitude of a function is given by: Look at the additional example #1 on page 139.

17. Stretches and Shrinks: Vertical stretches and shrinks y = 2f(x) vertical stretch of 2 times each y-value y = ½ f(x) vertical shrink of ½ times each y-value

18. Stretches and Shrinks: Vertical stretches and shrinks y = 2f(x) vertical stretch of 2 times each y-value y = ½ f(x) vertical shrink of ½ times each y-value Therefore, y = c f(x) will provide a vertical stretch or vertical shrink of c times each y-value.

19. Stretches and Shrinks: b)Horizontal stretches or shrinks y = f(2x) horizontal shrink of ½ times each x-value y = f(½ x) horizontal stretch of 2 times each x-value

20. Stretches and Shrinks: b)Horizontal stretches or shrinks y = f(2x) horizontal shrink of ½ times each x-value y = f(½ x) horizontal stretch of 2 times each x-value Therefore, y = f(cx) will provide a horizontal stretch or shrink of 1/c (reciprocal of c times each x-values).

21. These will cause the following changes to occur in your graph:

22. If a periodic function f has period p and amplitude p then:

23. These will cause the following changes to occur in your graph: If a periodic function f has period p and amplitude p then: y = c(f(x)) has period p and amplitude c(A).

24. These will cause the following changes to occur in your graph: If a periodic function f has period p and amplitude p then: y = c(f(x)) has period p and amplitude c(A). y = f(cx) has period and amplitude A.

25. Translating graphs The graphs of y – k = f(x – h) is obtained by translating the graph of y = f(x) horizontally h units and vertically k units.

26. Translating graphs The graphs of y – k = f(x – h) is obtained by translating the graph of y = f(x) horizontally h units and vertically k units. (Take a look at the two graphs on page 141)

27. Example:

28. Sketch the graph of the following equation a. Then, using translations, sketch the graphs of b and c.

29. Example: Sketch the graph of the following equation a. Then, using translations, sketch the graphs of b and c. a) y = |x| b) y – 2 = |x – 3| c) y = |x + 5|
