Transformations of Nonlinear Functions

What is a horizontal translation in function transformations?

• Flips graph over y-axis

• Stretches graph vertically

• Moves graph up or down

• Shifts graph left or right

What effect does multiplying a function by -1 have?

• Reflects graph over x-axis

• Moves graph up 1 unit

• Reflects graph over y-axis

• Stretches the graph vertically

• It is horizontally stretched

• It is translated up

• It is vertically stretched

• It is reflected over the x-axis

• It shifts up by 1/2

• It becomes narrower

• It shifts down by 1/2

• It becomes wider

• Shifts the graph up 3 units

• Shifts the graph down 3 units

• Reflects over the y-axis

• Compresses the graph vertically

What type of transformation occurs when every point on a graph moves the same distance in the same direction?

• Reflection

• Dilation

• Translation

• Compression
