2.6 Function Transformations

a. Vertical Shift

f (x) x 2 2

Parent function :

Shift Down 2 units

2x

Vertical Shift (or translation) shifts UP k units

shifts DOWN k units

kxf )(

kxf )(

b. Horizontal Shift

f (x) (x 3)2

Parent function : 2x

Shift left 3 units

Horizontal shift (or translation) shifts LEFT h units

shifts RIGHT h units

f (x) x

2b. Reflects graph about the y-axis

f (x) x

3a. Stretch (dilate) the graph vertically

f (x) 2 x

)(xaf

Parent function :

Stretch vertically by : 2

If a > 1, stretches graph vertically

If 0 < a < 1, compresses graph vertically

3b. Horizontal Stretch/Compress

f (x) 1

2x

)(bxf

Horizontal Scale

If b > 1, compresses horizontally (x-values by 1/b)If 0 < b < 1, stretches horizontally (x-values by 1/b)

)(bxf

3b. Horizontal Dilation (Scale)

When scale is “inside” the parent function,it is preferable to pull it OUTSIDE the parent function and apply

vertical dilation

4. Sequence of TransformationsWhen a function has multiple transformatinos applied, does

the order of the transformations matter?

23 xxf Which operation is first: Reflection or Shift ?

5. a) Rewrite function in standard form

Step 1: Always, factor out coefficients and write in standard form, before doing transformations!

Method 2: Less Preferred method

When a function is not in the standard form, perform transformations in this order:

1) Horizontal shift2) Stretch/shrink3) Reflect4) Vertical stretch Shrink

8. A second method for sequence of transformations

Perform the transformations in this order

khxbfa )(

1.Vertical scale by a If a is negative, reflects across x-axis

Vertical shift+k: shift up k

-k : shift down k

4.

Horizontal shift-h : shift to right+h : shift to left

3.Horizontal scale by

If b is negative, reflects across y-axis
