Given f(x) = (x-3)² + 5, what transformations occurred?

Back

The graph of the function is shifted right by 3 units and up by 5 units.

What is the parent function of a linear function?

Back

The parent function of a linear function is f(x) = x.

Front

What is a vertical stretch in function transformations?

Back

A vertical stretch occurs when the output values of a function are multiplied by a factor greater than 1, making the graph taller.

Front

What is a vertical compression in function transformations?

Back

A vertical compression occurs when the output values of a function are multiplied by a factor between 0 and 1, making the graph shorter.

Front

What does a horizontal shift to the right mean in function transformations?

Back

A horizontal shift to the right means the graph of the function is moved to the right along the x-axis.

Front

What does a horizontal shift to the left mean in function transformations?

Back

A horizontal shift to the left means the graph of the function is moved to the left along the x-axis.
