i will give a medal

Answer 1

please help i will give a medal out and fan

Answer 2

Hello. Please see page 12 (Transformations) of the following:
http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/pestiej/MAT124_transformations.pdf
I'd be happy to answer questions about these Transformations after you've taken a look at this material.

Answer 3

@mathmale i went to page 12 i need help and i dont get this at all

Answer 4

There are four basic transformations: Starting with a basic graph, we can shift (move) the graph up or down, to the left or to the right. Up or down involves the y-axis; left or right involves the y axis.

Let's build upon what you already know about transformations. What is that?

Answer 5

idk anything about transformation

Answer 6

You are given the function y = f(x) − 3, as well as the graph of y = f(x). Referring to the summary on page 12, which of the four cases on page 12 is closest to the problem you're working on now?

Answer 7

My job is to help you solve the given problem yourself, not to do it for you. Please answer my question (above).

Answer 8

ok let me look

Answer 9

Reflection:
y = −f(x) Reflect the graph of y = f(x) in the x-axis is it this?

Answer 10

@mathmale am i right?

Answer 11

You are given y = f(x) - 3.
Compare that to the four cases that follow:

y=f(x) + k
y=f(x) - k
y=f(x-a)
y=f(x+a)

Which of these four is closest to the problem given you?

Answer 12

y=f(x) - k?

Answer 13

Yes. What does the summary on page 12 say happens when you start with the graph of f(x) and graph the equation y=f(x)-3?

Answer 14

@bashbrothers : Please respond.
