This lesson covers transformations of power functions, focusing on the parameters a, k, d, and c. It uses Desmos for visualization and provides a detailed investigation of how these parameters affect the graph. The lesson includes examples of describing transformations from equations, graphing transformed functions, and determining equations from graphs.

What is the primary focus of lesson four on transformations?

• Transformations of linear functions

• Transformations of power functions

• Transformations of exponential functions

• Transformations of logarithmic functions

What does the parameter 'a' do when it is negative?

• Vertical stretch

• Horizontal stretch

• Vertical reflection

• Horizontal reflection

How does a positive 'k' value greater than one affect a function?

• Horizontal compression

• Horizontal stretch

What happens to a function when the parameter 'd' is negative?

• Shifts down

• Shifts left

What is the effect of adding a positive 'c' to a function?

• Shifts the graph down
