Transformations Transformations of Functions and Graphs We will be looking at simple functions and seeing how various modifications to the functions transform them.
2
VERTICAL TRANSLATIONS Above is the graph of What would f(x) + 1 look like? (This would mean taking all the function values and adding 1 to them). What would f(x) - 3 look like? (This would mean taking all the function values and subtracting 3 from them). As you can see, a number added or subtracted from a function will cause a vertical shift or translation in the function.
3
y = f(x) + k y = f(x) ̶ k Transformation k units Down k units UP
4
VERTICAL TRANSLATIONS
5
what is the transformation? y = f(x) +10 Parent function y = f(x) Up 10 units Down 9 units Up 5 units Down 7 units y = f(x)
6
Above is the graph of What would f(x+2) look like? (This would mean taking all the x values and adding 2 to them before putting them in the function). As you can see, a number added or subtracted from the x will cause a horizontal shift or translation in the function but opposite way of the sign of the number. HORIZONTAL TRANSLATIONS What would f(x-1) look like? (This would mean taking all the x values and subtracting 1 from them before putting them in the function).
7
y = f(x + h) y = f(x ̶ h) Transformation h units Right h units left For h>0, and
8
HORIZONTAL TRANSLATIONS shift right 3 shift left 1
9
what is the transformation? y = f(x+10) Parent function y = f(x) Left 10 units Right 9 units Left 5 units Right 7 units y = f(x)
10
We could have a function that is transformed or translated both vertically AND horizontally. Above is the graph of What would the graph of look like? up 3 left 2
11
what is the transformation? y = f(x+1)-6 Parent function y = f(x) Left 1 and down 6 Right 3 and up 2 Left 5 and up 7 Right 8 and down 1 y = f(x-8)-1 y = f(x)
12
and If we multiply a function by a non-zero real number it has the effect of either stretching or compressing the function because it causes the function value (the y value) to be multiplied by that number. Let's try some functions multiplied by non-zero real numbers to see this. DILATION:
13
Above is the graph of So the graph a f(x), where a is any real number GREATER THAN 1, is the graph of f(x) What would 2f(x) look like? What would 4f(x) look like? Notice for any x on the graph, the new (red) graph has a y value that is 2 times as much as the original (blue) graph's y value. Notice for any x on the graph, the new (green) graph has a y value that is 4 times as much as the original (blue) graph's y value. The bigger a is. The narrower the graph is. vertically stretched by a factor of a.
14
Above is the graph of So the graph a f(x), where a is 0 < a < 1, is the graph of f(x) Notice for any x on the graph, the new (red) graph has a y value that is 1/2 as much as the original (blue) graph's y value. Notice for any x on the graph, the new (green) graph has a y value that is 1/4 as much as the original (blue) graph's y value. What if the value of a was positive but less than 1? What would 1/4 f(x) look like? What would 1/2 f(x) look like? The smaller a is. The wider the graph is. vertically Compressed by a factor of a.
15
y = a f(x) Transformation Stretched Vertically By factor of a a>1 0<a<1 Compressed Vertically By factor of a

VERTICAL TRANSLATIONS

3. Horizontal translation Procedure: Multiple Transformations (From left to right) 2. Stretching or shrinking 1. Reflecting 4. Vertical translation
18
what is the transformation? y = 5f(x+10)-6 vertically stretched by factor of 5, Left 10, down 6 vertically compressed by factor of ¼, Right 7, up 2
19
what is the transformation? vertically compressed by factor of 1/5, Left 6, down 7 vertically stretched by factor of ¼, Right 9, up 2
20
Above is the graph of So the graph - f(x) is a reflection about the x-axis of the graph of f(x). (The new graph is obtained by "flipping“ or reflecting the function over the x-axis) What if the value of a was negative? What would - f(x) look like? Notice any x on the new (red) graph has a y value that is the negative of the original (blue) graph's y value.
21
Above is the graph of There is one last transformation we want to look at. Notice any x on the new (red) graph has an x value that is the negative of the original (blue) graph's x value. What would f(-x) look like? (This means we are going to take the negative of x before putting in the function) So the graph f(-x) is a reflection about the y-axis of the graph of f(x). (The new graph is obtained by "flipping“ or reflecting the function over the y-axis)
22
Summary of Transformations So Far h >0 vertically stretched by a factor of a Up k units vertically compressed by a factor of a reflected across y-axis **Do reflections and dilations BEFORE vertical and horizontal translations** -f (x) If a > 1, If 0 < a < 1, reflected across x-axis f(-x) (opposite sign of number with the x) Left h units h <0Right h units k>0 k<0 Down k units
