What does a vertical shift of a function do?

Back

A vertical shift moves the graph of the function up or down without changing its shape.

Front

What does a horizontal shift of a function do?

Back

A horizontal shift moves the graph of the function left or right without changing its shape.

Front

What does a vertical compression of a function mean?

Back

A vertical compression reduces the height of the graph, making it flatter, typically by multiplying the function by a factor between 0 and 1.

Front

What does a vertical stretch of a function mean?

Back

A vertical stretch increases the height of the graph, making it steeper, typically by multiplying the function by a factor greater than 1.
