MCR 3U SECTION 3.4 REFLECTIONS OF FUNCTIONS. Example 1 : Graph the functions and on a single grid. Example 2 : Graph the functions y = x 2 and y = -x 2. If y = f(x), what type of transformation is represented by functions of the form

Example 1: Graph the functions and on a single grid
If y = f(x), what type of transformation is represented by functions of the form y = -f(x)
In general, if y = f(x), then y = -f(x) represents a reflection in the x-axis
Example 3: Graph the functions and on a single grid
In general, if y = f(x), then y = f(-x) represents a reflection in the y-axis
Invariant points are points that are unaltered by transformations
Example 4: Given f(x) = x2 – 5x, find f(-x) and –f(x). Determine any invariant points between f(x) and f(-x) and between f(x) and –f(x) for invariant points Invariant point at (0,0)
for invariant points Invariant points at (0,0) and (5,0)
