Question

which transformation from the graph of the function f(x) describes of the graph 1/3f(x) ?

A. vertical shift down 1/3 up 
B vertical shift up 1/3 unit
C. vertical compression by a factor 
D horizontal shift left 1/3 up

C

Multiplying your function by 1/3 would make the slope of the function one third as steep. In other words, it would compress the graph.

anonymous · Answer

which transformation from the graph of the function f(x) describes of the graph f(x) -1 
vertical shift down 1 unit
	vertical shift up 1 unit
	vertical stretch by a factor of 1
	horizontal shift left 1 unit

Do you have an idea of which this would be?

anonymous · Answer

B?

anonymous · Answer

i mean A

anteater · Answer

Yes, A :)

anonymous · Answer

thank you, i think i needed the reassurance!

anteater · Answer

No problem :)  Have a good night!

anonymous · Answer

You too!

Math is not really an experimental subject, and I do not really endorse graphing software for doing homework, but it might help you to try out examples on graphing sites and to play with the "knobs" in equations until you develop an intuition for graphs.

apolloschariot · Answer

Yeah, I agree. I believe you should use graphing software to help you understand how changing certain features of the equation can change the graph. Play around with it! Desmos has a good online graphing calculator.
