� Vertical shifts Types of Transformations � Moves the graph up or down � Impacts only the “y” � Vertical translation : shifts basic graph up or values of the function down; ____ if y = f(x) + b or _____ if y = f(x) – b � No changes are made � Horizontal translation : shifts basic graph left or to the “x” values right; ______ if y f(x d) or ______ if y right; if y = f(x - d) or if y = f(x + f(x + � Horizontal shifts d) � Moves the graph left � Reflection : crosses an axis; or right across x axis if y = -f(x) & across y axis if y = f(-x) � Impacts only the “x” � Vertical stretching and shrinking : y = af(x) values of the function _______ if |a| > 1; _______ if 0< |a|< 1 � No changes are made to the “y” values � Horizontal stretching and shrinking : y = f(cx) stretch if 0< |c|< 1; shrink if |c|> 1 2
Recognizing the shift from the equation, look at examples of Combining a vertical & horizontal shifting the function f(x)= x 2 . shift � Example of function � Vertical shift of 3 units up that is shifted down = = + 2 2 4 units and right 6 f f ( ( x ) ) x , , h ( ( x ) ) x 3 units from the f h original function. � Horizontal shift of 3 units left (HINT: x’s go the __________ direction that you might think.) = = − − ( ) , ( ) 6 4 f x x g x x = = + 2 2 ( ) , ( ) ( 3 ) f x x g x x Tests of Symmetry Types of Symmetry Symmetry with respect to the � f(x) = f(-x) symmetric to _________ � y-axis (x, y) & (____ , y) are even function reflections across the y-axis reflections across the y axis � - f(x) = f(-x) � Origin (x, y) & _________ are symmetric to _________ _________ function reflections across the origin � x-axis (x, y) & (x, ____) are � f(x) = - f(x) symmetric to _________ reflections across the x-axis neither even nor odd Example – Determine any/all Example – Determine any/all = + symmetry of 6x + 7y = 0 . 2 symmetry of f x ( ) x 1 a) y-axis d) y-axis b) Origin b) Origin e) origin e) origin c) x-axis f) x-axis � Is the function even, odd, or neither? � Is the function even, odd, or neither? 3
