Function Transformations

Front

What is a vertical stretch in function transformations?

Back

A vertical stretch occurs when the output values of a function are multiplied by a factor greater than 1, making the graph taller.

Front

What does the transformation g(x) = f(x + 3) represent?

Back

What is a vertical compression in function transformations?

Back

A vertical compression occurs when the output values of a function are multiplied by a factor between 0 and 1, making the graph shorter.

Front

What does the transformation g(x) = 3f(x) represent?

Back

The graph of f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 3.

Front

What does the transformation p(x) = f(x - 4) indicate?

Back

What is the effect of a negative sign in front of a function, such as g(x) = -f(x)?

Back

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis.

Front

What does the transformation g(x) = f(-x) indicate?

Back
