multiply with 2? @AZ

jnlkmnjkm:

@AZ

AZ:

do the same thing, just shrink it

AZ:

so like make the x-values in half and move it to the same y-value

jnlkmnjkm:

can i multiply 1 and 2?

jnlkmnjkm:

1/2?

AZ:

you could do it like that but if you noticed what we did in the last example we had f(3x) so we we using 1/3 and 2/3 but now we have f(2x) so we would use 1/2 and 2/2 (or 1) and then 3/2 so what you'll notice is how we're just taking whatever x-values on our graph and dividing it by 2

jnlkmnjkm:

1/2

no so do you see how on our blue line we have x = 1, y = 3 that means on our red graph, we'll have to just make the x-value in half but the y-value stays the same so x = 1/2 and y = 3 and do the same thing for the other points

AZ:

oh my, what have you done to the other points do the same thing so when x = 2 , y = 2 on the blue line so for the RED line divide the x-value by 2 2 /2 = 1 that means on the red line, x = 2 and the y-value stays the same as y = 2 and repeat for all the other x-values, divide them by 2 but keep the y-value the same

jnlkmnjkm:

for the first is it

AZ:

yes, that's correct

jnlkmnjkm:

the next one is 2 divided by 2?

jnlkmnjkm:

az

@snowflake0531

jnlkmnjkm:

the next one is 2 divided by 2?

snowflake0531:

Yes, it's just all of the x coordinate divided by 2 I.... think....

jnlkmnjkm:

its 1

snowflake0531:

yes it's one

wat we just said that x was going to be 1....

jnlkmnjkm:

snowflake0531:

yes, that's correct

jnlkmnjkm:

next is 3/2?

snowflake0531:

yes

snowflake0531:

Just get each coordinate (x,y) and just do (1/2 x,y)

snowflake0531:

we just agreed that it's 1.5, you did 2.5....

jnlkmnjkm:

left more?

snowflake0531:

You did 2.5... change it to 1.5... look at the numbers, so yea, ig, left more, by one unit

snowflake0531:

ye, that's correct

jnlkmnjkm:

next is 2

AZ:

yes, good job and just keep that same y-value as x= 4
