Question

can someone please tell me all the transformations? ex: horiz shrink, left, up down?

Answer 1

if you have a f(x) = x+5
that means I am moving 5 units up. the + sign without () means up
f(x) = x-5
I am moving 5 units down. the - sign without () means down
f(x) = (x-5)
I am moving 5 units to the right . the - sign with () means right
f(x) = (x+5)
I am moving 5 units to the left. the + sign with () means left.

f(x) = -x
a negative sign in front means that I am reflecting the graph

I forgot about shrink and stretch... It has something to do with the number

Answer 2

that's what my textbook had.. but other websites use different notation... with the same meaning

Answer 3

oh cool thanks!! :) ur a savior

Answer 4

this page seems like a handy reference

Answer 5

f(x) +5 move up 5 units
f(x) -5 move down 5 units
(f(x)-5) move right 5 units
(f(x)+5) move left 5 units
-f(x) reflection on x -axis
f(-x) reflection on y axis
f(bx) b = number stretches horizontal 0<b<1 stretches, b>1 shrinks
bf(x) b = number, stretch vertical b>1 stretch 0<b<1 shrinks
