Learning how to identify compression and stretches of multiple functions

The video tutorial explains the effects of multiplying values inside and outside functions, focusing on vertical and horizontal transformations. It covers the concepts of vertical stretch and compression, as well as horizontal compression, using examples. The tutorial also delves into reciprocal functions and how multiplication affects them, particularly in odd functions. The instructor emphasizes understanding the general function and the impact of multiplying by different values, providing clarity on the concepts of stretch and compression.

What determines whether a transformation is a vertical stretch or compression?

How does multiplying a function by a value inside the function affect its graph?

Explain the significance of the absolute value of C in determining vertical transformations.

What is the effect of multiplying by a value less than one on the outside of a function?

Describe the relationship between vertical and horizontal transformations when dealing with odd functions.

How can you differentiate between a vertical stretch and a horizontal compression based on the value of C?

What happens to the graph of a function when it is multiplied by a factor greater than one inside the function?
