Question

Describe how the graph of each function is related to the graph of its parent function.

Answer 1

Answer:

  5. reflection in y=0, translation 1 up

  6. translation 4 right

  7. translation 1 left, 2 down

Step-by-step explanation:

For parent function f(x), the transformation ...

  g(x) = a·f(x -h) +k

represents a vertical scaling by a factor of "a", a translation to the right by an amount "h", and a translation upward by an amount "k". When "a" is negative, it represents a reflection across the x-axis.

__

5. a=-1, h=0, k=1. Reflection across the x-axis, then translation upward 1 unit.

__

6. a=1, h=4, k=0. Translation to the right 4 units.

__

7. a=1, h=-1, k=-2. Translation 1 unit left and 2 units down.
