What does a negative sign in front of a function indicate in graph transformations?

Back

A negative sign indicates a reflection over the x-axis.

What is the effect of multiplying a function by a factor greater than 1?

Back

Multiplying a function by a factor greater than 1 vertically stretches the graph away from the x-axis.

Front

Back

This equation indicates a reflection over the x-axis and a horizontal shift right by 1 unit.

Front

Back

This transformation stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 4 and shifts it right by 2 units.

What is a vertical compression in graph transformations?

Back

A vertical compression occurs when a function is multiplied by a factor between 0 and 1, making the graph closer to the x-axis.

What does the term 'horizontal shift' mean in graph transformations?

Back

A horizontal shift refers to moving the graph left or right along the x-axis.
