Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the transformations given for the function in each case and describe them verbally, along with drawing the graph transformations.
Original Function:
Case (a):
Transformations:
- Vertical Stretch and Reflection: The factor of indicates a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 and a reflection across the x-axis.
- Vertical Shift: The indicates a vertical shift upward by 1 unit.
Case (b):
Transformations:
- Horizontal Stretch: The factor of inside the function means a horizontal stretch by a factor of .
Case (c):
Transformations:
- Horizontal Compression: The factor of inside the function means a horizontal compression by a factor of .
- Horizontal Shift: The inside the function means a shift to the right by 2 units.
Case (d):
Transformations:
- Horizontal Stretch: The factor of inside the function means a horizontal stretch by a factor of .
- Horizontal Shift: The inside the function means a shift to the left by 1 unit.
Graphs:
I will describe the general appearance of the graphs given these transformations.
-
Original graph :
- It has a vertical asymptote at .
- It passes through and .
- As approaches 0, approaches or .

Would you like me to generate these graphs for visual representation? If you have any specific questions or need further details, please let me know.
Here are some example questions you might ask next:
- Can you explain horizontal and vertical transformations in more detail?
- How do you find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of transformed functions?
- What effect does a negative sign have in function transformations?
- How do you determine the new critical points after a transformation?
- Can you provide a step-by-step solution to a specific transformation problem?
Tip: When dealing with function transformations, always identify the type of transformation (e.g., shift, stretch, compression) and apply them step by step to understand the cumulative effect on the graph.
