The transformations include a vertical reflection, a vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2, a shift right by 5 units, and a shift up by 3 units.

What is a vertical stretch in the context of function transformations?

Back

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

How do you identify the parent function of a given transformation?

Back

To identify the parent function, look for the basic form of the function before any transformations are applied.
