Parent Equation General Forms Transforming
Parent Equation • The simplest form of any function • Each parent function has a distinctive graph • We will summarize these in the next few slides
Constant • f(x)=a; where a is any number
Linear • f(x)=x
Logarithmic • y=lnx
Quadratic • f(x)=x2
Cubic • f(x)=x3
Reciprocal • Same as a Rational Graph
Sine • y=sinx
Cosine • y=cosx
Tangent • y=tanx
Constant Function • f(x)=a; where a is any number • Domain: all real numbers • Range: a
Linear Function • f(x)=x • Domain: all real numbers • Range: all real numbers
Transformations Linear and Quadratic
Vertical Translations • Positive Shift (Shift up) • Form: y=f(x)+b where b is the shift up • Negative Shift (Shift down) • Form: y=f(x)-b where b is the shift down
Horizontal Translations • Shift to the right • Form: y=f(x-h) • The negative makes you think left, but actually means right here • Shift to the left • Form y=f(x+h) • This would shift to the left of the origin
Vertical Stretch and Compression • If y=f(x), then y=af(x) gives a vertical stretch or compression of the graph of f • If a>1, the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a • If a<1, the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a
Horizontal Stretch and Compression • If y=f(x),then y=f(bx) gives a horizontal stretch or compression of the graph of f • If b>1, the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of 1/b • If b<1, the graph is stretched horizontally by a factor of 1/b
Reflection • If y=f(x), then y=-f(x) gives a reflection of the graph f across the x axis • If y=f(x), then y= f(-x) gives a reflection of the graph f across the y axisl
