Function Transformations and Rules

The video tutorial explains function transformations using F(x), G(x), and H(x). It begins by introducing the concept of function rules and transformations. The tutorial then compares F(x) and G(x), highlighting a vertical shift where G(x) is one unit higher than F(x). It establishes the rule G(x) = F(x) + 1. Next, it compares F(x) and H(x), showing a horizontal shift where H(x) is shifted one unit to the right, leading to the rule H(x) = F(x - 1). The video concludes with testing these rules and encourages applying points to understand transformations.

What is the main focus of the problem discussed in the video?

• Identifying function rules for G(x) and H(x) based on F(x)

• Finding the derivative of a function

• Graphing linear equations

• Solving algebraic equations

What transformation occurs when G(x) is one unit higher than F(x)?

• Horizontal shift to the right

• Vertical shift up

• Vertical shift down

• Horizontal shift to the left

What does a vertical shift up affect in the function rule?

• The value of C

• The value of B

• The value of D

• The value of A

If G(2) = 6 and F(2) = 5, what is the transformation rule for G(x)?

• G(x) = F(x) + 1

• G(x) = F(x) / 2

• G(x) = F(x) * 2

• G(x) = F(x) - 1

What is the difference in input values for the same output between F(x) and H(x)?

• H(x) inputs are one unit smaller

• H(x) inputs are two units larger

• H(x) inputs are one unit larger

• H(x) inputs are the same

What is the effect of a horizontal shift to the right on the function rule?

• C is positive

• C is negative

• C is zero

• C is doubled

What does a horizontal shift to the right affect in the function rule?

• The value of B

• The value of D

• The value of A

• The value of C

What is the opposite of what you might think when considering the sign of C in a horizontal shift?

• C is positive for a right shift

• C is zero for a right shift

• C is doubled for a right shift

• C is negative for a right shift

If H(2) = 3 and F(1) = 3, what is the transformation rule for H(x)?

• H(x) = F(x) - 1

• H(x) = F(x) + 1

• H(x) = F(x - 1)

• H(x) = F(x + 1)

What should you do if you're unsure about the type of transformation?

• Use a calculator

• Guess the transformation

• Apply the points to see the transformation

• Ignore the points
