Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to graph four transformations of the given function based on the graph provided. The transformations are as follows:
Let’s briefly break down how each transformation affects the graph:
(a)
- This is a horizontal compression by a factor of 2.
- For every -coordinate on the original graph, the corresponding point will now occur at , making the graph "squished" horizontally by half.
(b)
- This is a horizontal stretch by a factor of 2.
- Every -coordinate on the original graph will be doubled, spreading the graph out horizontally.
(c)
- This represents a reflection over the y-axis.
- Every point on the original graph will be reflected to .
(d)
- This combines a reflection over the y-axis and a reflection over the x-axis, which results in a reflection through the origin.
- The transformation will flip the graph both horizontally and vertically.
Would you like a detailed description of the points on each graph or further explanations for any of these transformations? Let me know if you'd like to see a sketch or have questions about the transformations.
Here are some related questions for further practice:
- What effect does have on the graph?
- How would the graph change if the transformation was ?
- What does the transformation do to the graph?
- How do vertical and horizontal transformations differ?
- What is the graphical interpretation of ?
Tip: Remember, multiplying inside the function affects the graph horizontally, while multiplying outside the function affects it vertically!
