Math Problem Statement
Graph of y=4-f(2x)
Solution
To graph the equation , the graph of the function is transformed in the following ways:
-
Horizontal compression by a factor of 2: The input means that the function is compressed horizontally by a factor of 2. Every point on the graph moves closer to the y-axis.
-
Reflection over the x-axis: The negative sign in front of reflects the function across the x-axis.
-
Vertical shift upwards by 4 units: The "+4" outside of the function shifts the graph upward by 4 units.
Steps to graph :
- Start with the graph of .
- Apply the horizontal compression (multiply the x-values by 1/2).
- Reflect the graph over the x-axis (multiply the y-values by -1).
- Finally, shift the entire graph upward by 4 units.
If you'd like, you can specify what function is to generate an exact graph.

Tip: When graphing transformations, always apply horizontal transformations before vertical ones for clarity.
