Math Problem Statement

Sketch a graph given the following features: - Reflect in the x-axis - Stretch vertically by a factor of 3 - Translate 4 units to the left - Translate 2 units down - Rotate 90° clockwise Choose the graph that best matches these transformations from the options provided.

Solution

The image shows a problem asking to identify the correct graph for a set of transformations applied to a parent function. The transformations are:

  • Reflect in the xx-axis
  • Stretch vertically by a factor of 33
  • Translate 44 units to the left
  • Translate 22 units down
  • Rotate 9090^\circ clockwise

Given these transformations, let's analyze them step by step:

  1. Reflection in the xx-axis: This inverts the graph over the xx-axis.
  2. Vertical Stretch by a factor of 33: This makes the graph three times taller.
  3. Translation 4 units left: This shifts the graph 4 units to the left.
  4. Translation 2 units down: This shifts the graph 2 units down.
  5. Rotation 9090^\circ clockwise: This rotates the graph 9090^\circ in the clockwise direction.

Given these transformations, the correct graph should reflect these changes. By examining the options provided, the one that corresponds to all these transformations will be the correct one.

Based on the image, Option C is the graph that reflects the transformations correctly.

Would you like further details on any of these transformations, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What happens to a graph when it is reflected over the yy-axis instead of the xx-axis?
  2. How would the graph change if it were translated up instead of down?
  3. What effect does a horizontal stretch have on the shape of a graph?
  4. How do rotations by 9090^\circ differ between clockwise and counterclockwise directions?
  5. Can you describe the sequence of transformations that would reverse the effects described here?

Tip: When performing multiple transformations, the order in which you apply them can sometimes affect the final graph, especially when rotations are involved.
