mandolino use the graph of f to sketch each graph

let's establish this convention top left=A; top right=B bottom left=C; bottom right=D|dw:1318985576377:dw|

So when its positive its to the left and when the number is negative its to the right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct. the expression in the definition is "x-h" for horizontal transformations so when you have say x+7 you really have x-(-7) so h=-7 ie, left when you have x-5 you have h=+5 ie, right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f(x-2) has h=+2, so 2 units right, answer D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok i understand that but for the next one +5 def means upward?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(b) y=-f(x)+5 correct f(x)+k moves up k units when k>0; down k units when k<0 also -f is an x-axis reflection; remember that y=f(x), so when you negate f(x) for a graph you are really negating all the y-values; so compared to the parent function all positve y's become negative, and all negative y's become positve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(b) y=-f(x)+5 so there is also an x-axis reflection on this one what's the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im saying C because its -f(x) so that means its flipped then i moved it up 5 spaces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(b) y=-f(x)+5 answer is C!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(c) y=.5f(x) y=a*f(x) assume a>0 if a>1 then you have a vertical "stretch" if a<1 then you have a vertical "compression" a=0.5 what is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I should have written: if 0<a<1 then you have a vertical "compression"

My comp. is dying and i dont have my charger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want me to email the answers to 7c-g and 8 for 1.7 so you can check your work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea im going to try and do it on my own then check, if i have problems can i email tomorrow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure; i'll do a quick double check and then email the answers; this was working pretty good. . . if somebody didn't forget her power cord... what about 2.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol i no i no. :-( . I have school all day tomorrow can we work on that thursday?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its really about to shut down so email if anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, what time about 7pm

OpenStudy (anonymous):
