Transformations in Algebra

Use the graphs of f and g to describe the transformation from the graph of f to the graph of g.

• The graph of g is a vertical translation 2 units up of the graph of f
• The graph of f is a horizontal translation two units left of g
• The graph of g is a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 of the graph of f
• The graph of g is a reflection of the graph of f

Use the graphs of f and g to describe the transformation from the graph of f to the graph of g.

• The graph of g is a vertical translation 4 units up from the graph f
• The graph of g is a horizontal translation of the graph of f, 4 units right
• The graph of g is a horizontal translation of the graph of f, 4 units left
• The graph of g is a vertical stretch of the graph of f, by a factor of 7

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x is replaced with 2f(x)?

• Vertical stretch by a factor of 2

• Vertical compression by a factor of 1/2

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x is replaced with f(x) + 2?

• Translation left 2 units
• Translation right 2 units
• Vertical translation up by 2 units.
• Reflection across the x-axis.

Which transformation on

f(x) = x

• Reflection across the y-axis

• The slope will be less steep

• The graph will be wider

• Reflection across the x-axis.

How did the equation shift from the parent function?

y = f(x) + c

• Shifted up "c" units

• Shifted down "c" units

• Stretches vertically

• Shifted right "c" units

How did the equation shift from the parent function? y = f(x - 4)

• Shift right by 4

• Shift left by 4

• Horizontal Stretch by 4

• Vertical Stretch by 4

• Shift down by 4

How did the equation f(x) = x change if

g(x) = 1/2f(x) + 11

• Vertical stretch and shift up 11

• Horizontal shrink and shift down 11

• Vertical shrink and shift up 11

• Horizontal stretch and shift down 11

If the graph of the parent function f(x) = x is shifted 7 units up and is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3, what is the function?

• g(x) = f(7x) + 3
• g(x) = 3f(x) - 7
• g(x) = f(3x) + 7
• g(x) = 7x - 3

How did the equation shift from the parent function? y = -3f(x) + 5

• Reflection over x-axis, steeper, up 5

• Reflection over y-axis, less steep, right 5

• Steeper, left 5

• reflection over x-axis, less steep, up 5
