Math Problem Statement

Give me expression of f(x) when it shifted right on x axis 1 unit, reflected in y axis, then stretched parallel to y axis scale factor 2

Solution

To determine the expression for f(x)f(x) when it undergoes the specified transformations, we apply them in the following order:

Transformations:

  1. Shift right on the x-axis by 1 unit: Replace xx with x1x - 1, so f(x)f(x) becomes f(x1)f(x - 1).

  2. Reflect in the y-axis: Replace xx with x-x, so f(x1)f(x - 1) becomes f((x1))f(-(x - 1)).

  3. Stretch parallel to the y-axis with a scale factor of 2: Multiply the entire function by 2, so f((x1))f(-(x - 1)) becomes 2f((x1))2f(-(x - 1)).

Final Expression:

The resulting function is: g(x)=2f((x1))g(x) = 2f(-(x - 1))

Would you like further clarification or examples to understand these transformations? Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How does a shift left on the x-axis by 2 units affect the function's expression?
  2. What is the effect of reflecting a function in the x-axis instead of the y-axis?
  3. Can you combine multiple stretches (e.g., by different scale factors along x and y)?
  4. How do you identify transformations when analyzing a graph?
  5. What happens when you apply a horizontal compression with a reflection?

Tip: When working with transformations, apply them step by step, and keep track of the order to avoid confusion.
