Question

how do i stretch/shrink a graph with slope? for parent functions?

Answer 1

what's the equation?

Answer 2

\(\textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{array}{llll}

\begin{array}{llll} shrink\ or\\ expand\\ by\ {\color{purple}{ A}}\cdot {\color{blue}{ B}}\end{array}
\qquad \\



\\

\qquad \downarrow\\
y = {\color{purple}{ A}} ( {\color{blue}{ B}}x + {\color{red}{ C}} ) + {\color{green}{ D}}\\

\end{array}\)

Answer 3

@joe0001 radical(.5x)

Answer 4

hello!

Answer 5

is there a easier way to stretch/shrnk a function without using a table ?

Answer 6

sorry site is lagged

Answer 7

yup xD

Answer 8

well... a multiplier to "x" would either stretch it or expand it

depending on what the parent number would be say

0.5x if you give that parent... something smaller than 0.5 say 0.25

0.25x <---- that'd EXPAND it or make flatter

if you give it something bigger...say 1.0
1.0x <--- that'd SHRINK it, or make it more vertical

Answer 9

cause i was able to use the slope trick for 3 sqrt (x+2)

Answer 10

how would i do it for numbers smaller than 1?

Answer 11

what are trying to do anyway? I mean.. .what's the original exercise
