- Interpret, from function notation, an action or several actions to be taken on a known function, \(f\), in order to sketch the transformed function.
- Sketch transformations from \(9\) familiar functions.
- Write the equation of a function associated with descriptive transformations such as shifting left, right, up, or down, reflecting, stretching, and compressing of its parent function.
- 3.1: Transformations of f(x)
- In this section, you will practice manipulating a given graph, according to the corresponding function notation. We’ll use the function f for demonstration throughout this section. But any graph will do!
- 3.2: Transformations of Common Graphs
- The transformation of graphs, using common functions, will be a skill that will bring insight to graphing functions quickly and painlessly. Anticipating how a graph of a function will look, and transforming old graphs to new graphs, is a skill we will explore in this section. Mastering this skill will give you a leg up on understanding analytic geometry, a key component to calculus.
