IM Algebra 2 Unit 5 Transformations

Front

What variable remains the same when graphing vertical stretches or compressions?

Back

Input (x) Values.

Front

Describe the transformation: f(x) = - (x - 2)² - 5

Back

Reflection, right 2, down 5.

Front

What variable remains the same when graphing horizontal stretches or compressions?

Back

Output (y) Values.

Front

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x is replaced with \(\frac{1}{4}f(x)\)?

Back

Vertical compression by a factor of 1/4.

Front

What transformations have happened to f(x) = 2^x if the new equation is g(x) = -2^(x+3) - 6?

Back

Reflects, left 3, down 6.

Front

What is a vertical stretch?

Back

A transformation that increases the distance between points on the graph vertically, making it taller.

Front

What is a vertical compression?

Back

A transformation that decreases the distance between points on the graph vertically, making it shorter.

Front

What is a horizontal stretch?

Back

A transformation that increases the distance between points on the graph horizontally, making it wider.

Front

What is a horizontal compression?

Back

A transformation that decreases the distance between points on the graph horizontally, making it narrower.

Front

What does a negative sign in front of a function indicate?

Back

It indicates a reflection over the x-axis.
