The document describes various transformations that can be applied to a graph y=f(x) to generate other graphs. It discusses shifting graphs up or down by adding or subtracting a constant a to y, shifting graphs left or right by adding or subtracting a to x, reflecting graphs across the x-axis or y-axis, stretching graphs vertically or horizontally by multiplying f(x) or x by a constant k, and other transformations. These transformations can be used to build new graphs from an original function f(x).
2. (C) Transformations
Given that the graph y = f(x) can be sketches, then it is possible to build
other sketches through appropriate transformations.
3. (C) Transformations
Given that the graph y = f(x) can be sketches, then it is possible to build
other sketches through appropriate transformations.
y f x a OR y a f x
(a is grouped with y: shift up or down by a)
4. (C) Transformations
