Math Problem Statement

Write the equation of the image y = f(x) after each transformation. Include the mapping notation.

Solution

The image you've uploaded is a worksheet asking to write equations for transformations of a function y=f(x)y = f(x). Let me explain what I observe:

The table includes transformations such as horizontal/vertical stretches, reflections across the x-axis or y-axis, and corresponding mapping notations.

The task is to write the transformed function and include the mapping notation. Below are the transformations mentioned:

First Column:

  1. Horizontal stretch by a factor of 37\frac{3}{7}, vertical stretch by 59\frac{5}{9}, and reflection across the x-axis:
    • Equation: The function after these transformations would be written as: y=59f(73x)y = -\frac{5}{9} f\left(\frac{7}{3} x\right)
    • Mapping Notation: (x,y)(73x,59y)(x, y) \mapsto \left( \frac{7}{3}x, -\frac{5}{9}y \right)

Second Column:

  1. Horizontal stretch by a factor of 14\frac{1}{4}, vertical stretch by 25\frac{2}{5}, and reflection over the y-axis:
    • Equation: The transformed function will be: y=25f(4x)y = \frac{2}{5} f\left(-4x\right)
    • Mapping Notation: (x,y)(4x,25y)(x, y) \mapsto (-4x, \frac{2}{5}y)

Third Column:

  1. Horizontal stretch by a factor of 34\frac{3}{4}, vertical stretch by 11, and reflection over the y-axis:
    • Equation: Since there is no vertical stretch (it's 11), but a horizontal stretch and a reflection over the y-axis: y=f(43x)y = f\left(-\frac{4}{3} x\right)
    • Mapping Notation: (x,y)(43x,y)(x, y) \mapsto \left(-\frac{4}{3}x, y\right)

Fourth Column:

  1. Horizontal stretch by a factor of 22, vertical stretch by 33, and reflection across the y-axis:
    • Equation: This transforms the function as: y=3f(x2)y = 3 f\left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)
    • Mapping Notation: (x,y)(2x,3y)(x, y) \mapsto \left(-2x, 3y\right)

Would you like to go into more details on how these transformations affect the graph?

Tip: Always apply horizontal transformations before vertical ones to avoid confusion when handling multiple transformations.
