Question

For the given functions f(x), write a function g(x) for the transformations: f(x)=-3=5; compression by 1/2; y-axis???

Answer 1

I think there's a typo in your function, because -3 does not equal 5

Answer 2

so sorry, meant + 5! forgot to shift!

Answer 3

Even then, you're saying \[f(x)=-3+5\]\[f(x)=2\]So there's nothing you can do to compress it; it's just a straight line at y=2

Answer 4

let me retype it really quickly. so sorry!

Answer 5

f(x)=-3x=5; compression by 1/2; y-axis <~ there we go!

Answer 6

Vertical Compression/Stretching by n means f(x) becomes f(x) * n
Horizontal Compression/Stretching by n means f(x) becomes f(x*n)

Answer 7

I would assume 'y-axes' means vertical compression.

Answer 9

ok, thank you so much for your help! my algebra 2 teacher did not teach it very clearly to me
