@Vocaloid

Nnesha:

graph both equations https://www.desmos.com/ you will be able to find out the difference .

kaylak:

1 horizontal to right and reflection over x axis?

kaylak:

@AshtynThatDrummerGirl @Bearclaws72 There ;p

kaylak:

where is she?

Vocaloid:

putting a negative sign outside the function reflects across the x-axis

Vocaloid:

think about what |8x| looks like compared to |x|

kaylak:

stretched

Vocaloid:

we have to be careful with our terminology here

kaylak:

vertical

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507650555682:dw|

kaylak:

is the second one horizontal to right and shift down 7 units

Vocaloid:

since the 8 is inside the absolute value sign, it must be a horizontal stretch/shrink

kaylak:

oh ok

Vocaloid:

now, if we imagine taking our graph and stretching/shrinking horizontally, then |8x| is actually a compression/shrink

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507650666516:dw|

kaylak:

i thought it was compression when i looked at the graph

kaylak:

second one?

Vocaloid:

so for the very first problem it's a horizontal compression by 8 and a reflection across the x-axis

Vocaloid:

let's look at the second one then

Vocaloid:

f(x) = 3^x g(x) = 3^(-x+7) since we multiplied x by -1 (inside the function) this would be a horizontal reflection across y-axis

Vocaloid:

now, we need to be careful with the + 7. intuitively you would think it would be a shift to the right, but for horizontal transformations, the direction is actually the opposite to the sign (to the left)

kaylak:

I've actually answered a good bit need some answers checked though

kaylak:

oh

Vocaloid:

now let's look at 25

kaylak:

so 21 is over y axis left?

Vocaloid:

yes

Vocaloid:

if f(x) = x^3 and g(x) = (1/2)(x-4)^3 + 5 what transformations are being done to f(x) to get g(x)?

Vocaloid:

one question at a time please

kaylak:

horizontal right

kaylak:

4 units

Vocaloid:

yes, left or right?

kaylak:

right

Vocaloid:

good, what else?

kaylak:

vertical up 5 units

Vocaloid:

good, one more

kaylak:

compression vertically

Vocaloid:

good, that's it

kaylak:

by 2

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507651433678:dw|

Vocaloid:

should be 1/2 I believe (could be wrong about this)

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507651459335:dw|

kaylak:

since the 1/2 is there that makes sense

kaylak:

i said c

Vocaloid:

that's not correct, try one more time

kaylak:

a?

Vocaloid:

which interval captures those two black regions?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507651585754:dw|

Vocaloid:

hint: it starts at negative infinity and ends at 0

kaylak:

so it's d

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

gtg be back later

kaylak:

how long?

kaylak:

this one i think is c

Vocaloid:

it says decreasing not increasing

Vocaloid:

where is the function decreasing?

kaylak:

-infinity -1 the one that is going downward

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507652517584:dw|

kaylak:

oh it's b because it's also at 0

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507652523072:dw|

Vocaloid:

(-infinity,-1) is increasing not decreasing so it is not part of the solution

kaylak:

so a then because it is at 0

Vocaloid:

it's decreasing from (0,1) and (1,infinity) yes, so A is the answer

kaylak:

yay this next question is on intercepts joy

Vocaloid:

hint: where is the graph touching the x-axis? keep in mind the graph does not reach 0 at either extremity

kaylak:

-1 ?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507652889258:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507652894725:dw|

Vocaloid:

it means no intercept, yes

kaylak:

intercept

Vocaloid:

what about y-intercepts?

kaylak:

that's what i meant looked at next question and so the y is -1

kaylak:

b is answer

Vocaloid:

good that's it

kaylak:

asymptotes next question

Vocaloid:

let's start with vertical what are the vertical lines the graph approaches but does not cross?

kaylak:

-1 aren't both x and y -1 for asymptote

Vocaloid:

no

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507653182180:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507653187974:dw|

kaylak:

it crosses -1 slightly i'm confused

Vocaloid:

the graph isn't drawn well but there's an asymptote at x = -1

Vocaloid:

what about the other one?

kaylak:

ok that's what i thought but the you said crossed

kaylak:

is it -2 then?

Vocaloid:

??? where are you getting -2 from???

kaylak:

y=-2

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507653433840:dw|

Vocaloid:

we are only talking about vertical asymptotes for now

kaylak:

1

Vocaloid:

good, so your vertical asymptotes are -1 and 1

Vocaloid:

let's move on to horizontal ones

kaylak:

so horizontal is -2

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507653604064:dw|

kaylak:

well you said -1 wasnt right so it must be 0

Vocaloid:

(y = -2 is not an asymptote. I don't know how to explain this well)

Vocaloid:

good, y = 0

Vocaloid:

those are your three asymptotes

kaylak:

my teacher told me to put a line straight down the sides of the y and whatever it was closest to is the asymptote

Vocaloid:

I guess it's possible she would want you to mark y = -2 as an asymptote

kaylak:

https://s1.postimg.org/5cpcv08hzz/Capture.png who knows

Vocaloid:

hint: is it symmetric about the y-axis?

kaylak:

yes

kaylak:

so even

Vocaloid:

good, is it also symmetric about y = x?

kaylak:

i'd say so

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507653964266:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507653970542:dw|

kaylak:

so neither it can't be even and odd

Vocaloid:

no

kaylak:

no

Vocaloid:

good so it's symmetric about the y-axis but not y = x so it is even, not odd

Vocaloid:

there's one region where the slope is 0 (a horizontal line) can you find it?

kaylak:

-infinity, -4

Vocaloid:

good, so A can you close this and open a new question please

kaylak:

so if it slopes downward it's not constant

Vocaloid:

right, the slope must be 0
