What direction does y = f(x) + a do to a graph?
Moves it in the postive y direction
1 of 11
What direction does y = f(x) - a do to a graph?
Moves it in the negative y direction
2 of 11
What direction does y = f(x + a) do to a graph?
Moves it in the negative x direction
3 of 11
What direction does y = f(x - a) do to a graph?
Moves it in the postive x direction
4 of 11
What does multiplying the whole function do? (eg. y = 2x (x - 7) )
Stretches/squeezes/reflects the graph VERTICALLY.
5 of 11
when y = af (x) what happens when a is negative?
Reflects in the x axis
6 of 11
when y = af (x) what happens when a is smaller than 0, but not negative? ( ie, 1/3 )
The graph is squashed vertically
7 of 11
when y = af (x) if a > 1 or a<-1 what happens to the graph?
It is streched vertically
8 of 11
when y = f (ax) what happens when a is negative?
reflected in the y axis
9 of 11
when y = f (ax) what happens when a>1 or a<-1
squashes horizonally
10 of 11
when y = f (ax) what happens when -1< a <1 (ie fractions)
stretched horizonally
