@AZ

snowflake0531:

I'm still soooooooooo confused, but if you put into desmos x^2 y=f(2x-4)-1 f=anything you can see that whatever you slide f equals, it always intersects (2-1) maybe that's where your vertex should be at then ?_?

jnlkmnjkm:

im not sure

snowflake0531:

Slide the vertex of the parabola to (2,-1) do you know what vertex is

Yea... and then.... I absolutely have no clue I don't understand the f(2x-4)-1 thing..... lemme look through all your former questions xd

@Honda @Hoodmemes

Honda:

yes? what do you need help with?

jnlkmnjkm:

this uestion

Honda:

i don't understand what you asking tho sorry

jnlkmnjkm:

@darkknight

darkknight:

f(2x-4) - 1 lets now do f(2(x-2))-1 This is a little harder then the other questions, but now how would the transformations look like? remember first horizontal dilations, then horizontal shifts, then vertical dilations, then vertical shifts

jnlkmnjkm:

translation?

darkknight:

can you be more specific? how would the transformations look like

jnlkmnjkm:

im not sure

jnlkmnjkm:

help

jnlkmnjkm:

im not sure what the transformations look like

darkknight:

That is perfectly fine, but we have gone over 10+ questions like this, any idea at all?

darkknight:

If you have none then that means you werent paying attention, I aint a puppet that repeats stuff a billion times ._.

jnlkmnjkm:

so sorry not sure lol

jnlkmnjkm:

its my last uestion

jnlkmnjkm:

whats first step

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) jnlkmnjkm so sorry not sure lol \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) life doesnt work like that, you are showing you havent learned ANYTHING. Thats not the point. I just asked about horizontal/vertical dilations and horizontal/vertical shifts. I even broke it down here f(2x-4) - 1 lets now do f(2(x-2))-1 At this point its on you. I aint abandoning, you have to at least give an IDEA. Not just sit there and write stuff down while I am typing. Why did you say earlier that you were forllowing along if you werent?

jnlkmnjkm:

sorry whats first step

jnlkmnjkm:

@AZ

AZ:

lol okay, let's just plug in numbers? the original graph is your f(x) the new graph is going to be f(2x-4) -1 so let's plug in some numbers to see how your new graph looks like if we say x = 1 f(2*1 - 4) - 1 what is 2 - 4 = and find the y-value on your dashed line at that x-value and then subtract 1 that's going to be the y-value for when x = 1 on your new graph

jnlkmnjkm:

-2

jnlkmnjkm:

y value is 4

jnlkmnjkm:

3?

AZ:

yes, so one of the points on your new graph is (1, 3) now similarly let's find out what the point on your new graph will be when x = 2 so same steps f(2*2 - 4) - 1 what is (2*2) - 4 = and find the y-value on your dashed line at that x-value and then subtract 1

jnlkmnjkm:

4-4=0

jnlkmnjkm:

0-1=-1

AZ:

good so another point on your new graph. So when x = 2, y = -1 let's do it one more time for when x = 3 f(3*2 - 4) - 1 what is (3*2) - 4 = and find the y-value on your dashed line at that x-value and then subtract 1

AZ:

nope, the graph shouldn't be flipped it's because the vertex is wrong so let's find one more point so you can see how the graph will look correct so for when x = 3 f(3*2 - 4) - 1 what is (3*2) - 4 = and find the y-value on your dashed line at that x-value and then subtract 1

jnlkmnjkm:

3

jnlkmnjkm:

3?

AZ:

good so (3, 3) so put the first vertex dot at (2, -1) and the second one as (3, 3)

oh, you didn't plot it correctly it's (3, 3)

thanks
