Understanding Functions and Their Transformations

The video tutorial explores the relationships between two functions, f(x) and g(x), using graphical representations. It demonstrates how g(x) can be expressed in terms of f(x) through various transformations, including addition, subtraction, shifting, reflection, and scaling. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, helping viewers understand how changes in the function's equation affect its graph.

What is the relationship between g(x) and f(x) in the first scenario?

• g(x) is 2 units lower than f(x)

• g(x) is 1 unit lower than f(x)

• g(x) is 2 units higher than f(x)

• g(x) is 1 unit higher than f(x)

In the second scenario, how does g(x) compare to f(x)?

• g(x) is 2 units lower than f(x)

• g(x) is 1 unit lower than f(x)

• g(x) is 2 units higher than f(x)

• g(x) is 1 unit higher than f(x)

What transformation is applied to g(x) in the third scenario?

• Reflection

• Scaling

• Vertical shift

• Horizontal shift

In the third scenario, how is g(x) related to f(x)?

• g(x) is f(x) evaluated at x

• g(x) is f(x) evaluated at x - 2

• g(x) is f(x) evaluated at 2x

• g(x) is f(x) evaluated at x + 2

What is the effect of subtracting 2 from the input of f(x)?

• Shifts the graph downwards

• Shifts the graph to the left

• Shifts the graph to the right

• Shifts the graph upwards

How is f(x) expressed in terms of g(x) in the fourth scenario?

• f(x) = 3g(x)

• f(x) = -3g(x)

• f(x) = g(x) + 3

• f(x) = g(x) - 3

What happens to g(x) when it is reflected across the x-axis?

• It becomes 2g(x)

• It becomes g(x) - 2

• It becomes -g(x)

• It becomes g(x) + 2

In the context of transformations, what does scaling refer to?

• Changing the color of the graph

• Changing the shape of the graph

• Changing the size of the graph

• Changing the position of the graph

What is the result of multiplying g(x) by a negative number?

• The graph is unchanged

• The graph is scaled

• The graph is reflected

• The graph is shifted
