1.9.2: Key Equations

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Key Equations

Constant function f(x)=c, where c is a constant
Identity function f(x)=x
Absolute value function f(x)=|x|
Quadratic function f(x)=x2
Cubic function f(x)=x3
Reciprocal function f(x)=1x
Reciprocal squared function f(x)=1x2
Square root function f(x)=x
Cube root function f(x)=3x
Average rate of change ΔyΔx=f(x2)f(x1)x2x1
Composite function (fg)(x)=f(g(x))
Vertical shift g(x)=f(x)+k (up for k>0 )
Horizontal shift g(x)=f(xh) (right for h>0 )
Vertical reflection g(x)=f(x)
Horizontal reflection g(x)=f(x)
Vertical stretch g(x)=af(x) ( a>1 )
Vertical compression g(x)=af(x) (0<a<1)
Horizontal stretch g(x)=f(bx) (0<b<1)
Horizontal compression g(x)=f(bx) ( b>1 )
