Front

What is a reflection over the x-axis?

Back

A transformation that flips the graph of a function over the x-axis, changing the sign of the y-coordinates.

Front

What does vertical stretch by a factor of 5 mean?

Back

A transformation that multiplies the y-coordinates of each point on the graph by 5, making the graph taller.

Front

What is the effect of a vertical compression by a factor of 5?

Back

A transformation that multiplies the y-coordinates of each point on the graph by 1/5, making the graph shorter.

Front

How does a reflection over the y-axis affect a graph?

Back

It flips the graph over the y-axis, changing the sign of the x-coordinates.

Front

What is the function of y = √(x) + 3?

Back

This function represents a vertical shift of the square root function up by 3 units.

Front

What does horizontal compression by ½ mean?

Back

A transformation that multiplies the x-coordinates of each point on the graph by ½, making the graph narrower.

Front

What is the transformation described as 'down 4'?

Back

A vertical shift of the graph downwards by 4 units.

Front

What does the function f(x) = √(x - 4) - 2 represent?

Back

This function represents a horizontal shift of the square root function right by 4 units and a vertical shift down by 2 units.

Front

What is the transformation 'reflect over x-axis'?

Back

A transformation that flips the graph of a function over the x-axis, changing the sign of the y-values.

Front

What does the term 'vertical stretch by 2' indicate?

Back

A transformation that multiplies the y-coordinates of each point on the graph by 2, making the graph taller.
