Question

how do i know if a transformation flips or shifts?

Answer 1

no one??

Answer 2

hey!

Answer 3

hi

Answer 4

ok, so lets take a any function for example:
Y=3x^2

Answer 5

hey math freak help me with find derivative

Answer 6

plzzz i have a test :P

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

gfmate wait a sec, im helping someone out. wit till i finish.

Answer 9

so, we can tell if the graph of that function is going to be shifted or "flipped" just by looking at the function
shift:
Y=3x^2 + 6
this shows that this graph was moved 6 units to the right.

"flip" :
when we mean "flip" we refer to when the graph is reflected across the axis, as if a mirror reflection. one basic way we can tell this is if the coefficient is negated.
Y=-3x^2

Answer 10

ok thanks

Answer 11

y=3x^2+6 means it moved 6 units up...not right..,

Answer 12

right, and if it is subtracted it is a shift down. my bad, thought too quick

Answer 13

no worries...mathfreak...u know anything about greens or stokes theorem?

Answer 14

disregard last question
