Front

What is the effect of a negative sign in front of a function, e.g., -f(x)?

Back

It reflects the graph across the x-axis.

Front

What is the effect of a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 on f(x)?

Back

The new function is 2f(x), which stretches the graph vertically.

Front

What is the effect of a horizontal compression by a factor of 1/2 on f(x)?

Back

The new function is f(2x), which compresses the graph horizontally.
