Graph Graphing Piecewise-Defined Functions Example: Graph each “piece” separately. Values 0. Values > 0. Continued.
y (3, 6) Open circle (0, 3) x (0, –1) (–1, 4) (–2, 7) Graphing Piecewise-Defined Functions Example continued:
Vertical and Horizontal Shifting Vertical Shifts (Upward or Downward) Let k be a Positive Number Horizontal Shifts (To the Left or Right) Let h be a Positive Number
y 5 x 5 5 (0, –3) 5 Vertical and Horizontal Shifting Example: Begin with the graph of f(x) = x2. Shift the original graph downward 3 units.
y 5 x 5 5 5 (0, –2) Vertical and Horizontal Shifting Example: Begin with the graph of f(x) = |x|. Shift the original graph to the left 2 units.
Reflections of Graphs Reflection about the x-axis The graph of g(x) = – f(x) is the graph of f(x) reflected about the x-axis.
y 5 (4, 2) x 5 5 5 (4, –2) Reflections of Graphs Example: Reflect the original graph about the x-axis.
