  5. Vertical and Horizontal Translations TRANSLATIONS, also called shifts, are simple transformations of the graph of a function whereby each point of the graph is translated (shifted) a certain number of units vertically and/or horizontally. The shape of the graph remains the same. Vertical translations are shifts upward or downward. Horizontal translations are shifts to the right or to the left.

  6. Vertical and Horizontal Translations ExampleGraph the function on your calculator and describe the transformation that the graph of must undergo to obtain the graph of h(x).

  7. Vertical and Horizontal Translations

  8. Transformations of f(x) = x2 Given Describe each transformation of the graph of y1.

  9. f(x) g(x) Vertical and Horizontal Translations (continued) Take a look* Name the transformations that f(x) = x2 must undergo to obtain the graph of g(x) = (x + 3)2 – 5 Solution: You can obtain the graph of g by translating f3 units ___________ and 5 units ____________________.

  10. Reflecting Graphs A REFLECTION is a mirror image of the graph in a certain line.

  11. f(x) g(x) Reflection in x-axis Parent Function Reflecting Graphs (continued) Take a look* Sketch the graph of and . Solution: You can obtain the graph of g by reflecting f in the x-axis.

  12. Example Describe the transformations of each of the following graphs as compared to the graph of its parent function. Then sketch the graph of the transformed function. a)

  14. Nonrigid Transformations Translations and reflections are called rigidtransformations because the basic shape of the graph is NOT changed. Nonrigid transformations cause the original shape of the graph to change or become distorted. We will look briefly at VERTICAL STRETCHES AND SHRINKS.

  15. Vertical Stretch and Shrink A VERTICAL STRETCH causes the graph to become more elongated (skinnier) A VERTICAL SHRINK causes the graph to become squattier (wider). For y = f(x), • y = A f(x) is a vertical stretch if A > 1. • y = A f(x) is a vertical shrink if 0 < A < 1. Example: Notice that the vertex of the parabola does not change; the graph just becomes narrower or wider depending upon the value of c.

  16. Examples Describe the transformations of each of the following graphs as compared to the graph of its parent function. Then sketch the graph of the transformed function. a)

  18. Summary ofGraph Transformations • Vertical Translation: y = f (x) + k • k > 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) up k units. • k < 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) down |k| units. • Horizontal Translation: y = f (x+h) • h > 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) left h units. • h < 0 Shift graph of y = f (x) right |h| units. • Reflection in x-axis: y = -f (x) . • Vertical Stretch and Shrink: y = Af (x) • A > 1: Stretch graph of y = f (x) vertically by multiplying each ordinate (y-value) value by A. • 0<A<1: Shrink graph of y = f (x) vertically by multiplying each ordinate (y-value) value by A.

  19. More Practice More practice with domain, range, and transformations of common functions. See Handout

  20. Piecewise-Defined Functions • The absolute value of a real number x can be defined as • Notice that this function is defined by different rules for different parts of its domain. Functions whose definitions involve more than one rule are called piecewise-defined functions. • Graphing one of these functions involves graphing each rule over the appropriate portion of the domain.
