Vertical Translation, Reflection, and Stretch/Shrink


New Function – A Transformation of How points on the graph of 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) are
the “Parent” Function 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) transformed to become points on the Visual Effect
Note: 0 < 𝑘𝑘, 0 < 𝑎𝑎 new graph
𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) + 𝑘𝑘 (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦 + 𝑘𝑘) Translate up by 𝑘𝑘
𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) − 𝑘𝑘 (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦 − 𝑘𝑘) Translate down by 𝑘𝑘
−𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (𝑥𝑥, −𝑦𝑦) Reflect over the 𝑥𝑥-axis
If 1 < 𝑎𝑎, then vertical stretch by a
factor of 𝑎𝑎.
𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎(𝑥𝑥) (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (𝑥𝑥, 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎)
If 0 < 𝑎𝑎 < 1, then vertical shrink by a
factor of 𝑎𝑎.

Horizontal Translation, Reflection, and Stretch/Shrink


New Function – A Transformation of How points on the graph of 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) are
the “Parent” Function 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) transformed to become points on the Visual Effect
Note: 0 < ℎ, 0 < 𝑎𝑎 new graph
𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥 + ℎ) (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (𝑥𝑥 − ℎ, 𝑦𝑦) Translate left by ℎ
𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥 − ℎ) (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (𝑥𝑥 + ℎ, 𝑦𝑦) Translate right by ℎ
𝑓𝑓(−𝑥𝑥) (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ (−𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) Reflect over the 𝑥𝑥-axis
If 1 < 𝑏𝑏, then horizontal shrink by a
𝑥𝑥 factor of 𝑏𝑏.
𝑓𝑓(𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏) (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦) ↦ � , 𝑦𝑦�
𝑏𝑏 If 0 < 𝑏𝑏 < 1, then horizontal stretch by
a factor of 𝑏𝑏.

Summary of all possible transformations above:
