Question

Describe the transformation: f(x)= -x+5; g(x) = 2f(x)

Answer 1

To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.
Parent Function:
f
(
