@Hero do you have a link explaining this?

anonymous · Answer

hmm vertical?

hero · Answer

Well, what I meant for you to is take the given transformations and list all of the ones that involve shifts.

hero · Answer

The transformations that involve shifts are the ones that will result in a change of vertex.

hero · Answer

You are given

*f(x-2) 
*f(x)-2 
*f(2x) 
*2timesf(x)

Which of the above transformations involve "shifts"

anonymous · Answer

I really am not sure can you explain how I could find it?

hero · Answer

I'm going to give you a series of links that will show you.

hero · Answer

Hopefully from that you will be able to understand

Were you able to open the links? That is a good resource I provided you with that allows you to "see" the transformations. Such a tool was not available to me when I was in school. It should help you understand...not confuse you more.

anonymous · Answer

that's great thank you very much I can see it now!

hero · Answer

Okay, great

hero · Answer

To provide more insight into understanding the transformations, you should try to figure out what the new function is for each transformation.
