What are the differences between vertical and horizontal translations?

Vertical: Shifts up/down, affects y-values. Horizontal: Shifts left/right, affects x-values.

What are the differences between vertical and horizontal dilations?

Vertical: Stretches/shrinks vertically, affects y-values. Horizontal: Stretches/shrinks horizontally, affects x-values.

Compare reflection over the x-axis vs. y-axis.

X-axis: Flips over x-axis, negates y-values. Y-axis: Flips over y-axis, negates x-values.

Contrast the effects of $f(x) + k$ and $f(x + k)$ .

$f(x) + k$ : Vertical shift by k. $f(x + k)$ : Horizontal shift by -k.

Compare the effects of $af(x)$ and $f(ax)$ .

$af(x)$ : Vertical dilation by a. $f(ax)$ : Horizontal dilation by 1/a.

What is the difference between a vertical stretch and a vertical shift?

Vertical stretch: Changes the shape of the graph by multiplying y-values. Vertical shift: Moves the graph up or down without changing its shape.

How do horizontal stretches and compressions differ?

Horizontal stretch: Expands the graph horizontally. Horizontal compression: Shrinks the graph horizontally.

Compare the effects of a positive vs. negative 'a' in $g(x) = af(x)$ .

Positive 'a': Vertical stretch or compression. Negative 'a': Vertical stretch or compression AND reflection over the x-axis.

Contrast the impact of 'h' and 'k' in the general transformation equation.

'h': Horizontal shift (left/right). 'k': Vertical shift (up/down).

How does changing 'b' in $f(bx)$ affect the graph differently than changing 'a' in $af(x)$ ?

Changing 'b' affects the horizontal aspect (stretch/compression/reflection over y-axis), while changing 'a' affects the vertical aspect (stretch/compression/reflection over x-axis).

Vertical translation by k units:

$g(x) = f(x) + k$

Horizontal translation by h units:

$g(x) = f(x + h)$

Vertical dilation by a factor of a:

$g(x) = af(x)$

Horizontal dilation by a factor of 1/b:

$g(x) = f(bx)$

Reflection over the x-axis:

$g(x) = -f(x)$

Reflection over the y-axis:

$g(x) = f(-x)$

General form of combined transformations:

$g(x) = a cdot f(bx + h) + k$

How to represent a vertical stretch by a factor of 3?

$g(x) = 3f(x)$

How to represent a horizontal compression by a factor of 2?

$g(x) = f(2x)$

Formula for shifting a function 5 units to the right?

$g(x) = f(x-5)$

What is a vertical translation?

Shifting a function's graph up or down by adding/subtracting a constant.

What is a horizontal translation?

Shifting a function's graph left or right by adding/subtracting a constant to the input.

What is a vertical dilation?

Stretching or shrinking a function's graph vertically by multiplying the function by a constant.

What is a horizontal dilation?

Stretching or shrinking a function's graph horizontally by multiplying the input by a constant.

What is a reflection over the x-axis?

Flipping a function's graph over the x-axis, achieved by multiplying the function by -1.

What is a reflection over the y-axis?

Flipping a function's graph over the y-axis, achieved by replacing x with -x.

Define transformation of a function.

Altering the graph of a function by shifting, stretching, shrinking, or reflecting it.

What does 'dilation' mean in function transformations?

Stretching or compressing the graph of a function either vertically or horizontally.

What is the general form equation for combined transformations?

$g(x) = a cdot f(bx + h) + k$

Define vertical stretch.

A transformation that multiplies all y-values of a function by a factor greater than 1, making the graph taller.
