Shifting a Function’s Graph Lesson 5.1
Tools for Exploration • Consider the function f(x) = 0.1(x3 – 9x2) • Enter this function into your calculator on the y= screen • Set the window to be -10 < x < 10 and -20 < y < 20 • Graph the function
Shifting the Graph • Enter the following function calls of our original function on the y= screen: • y1= 0.1 (x3 - 9x2) • y2= y1(x + 2) • y3= y1(x) + 2 • Before you graph the other two lines, predict what you think will be the result. Use different styles for each of the functions
Shifting the Graph • How close wereyour predictions? • Try these functions – again, predict results • y1= 0.1 (x3 - 9x2) • y2= y1(x - 2) • y3= y1(x) - 2
Which Way Will You Shift? Matching -- match the letter of the list on the right with the function on the left.
Which Way Will It Shift? • It is possible to combine more than one of the transformations in one function: • What is the result of graphing this transformation of our function, f(x)? f(x - 3) + 5
Make It Shift • It has been moved to the right 3 and up 5 • Now what would you do if you wanted to move the graph down 4 units and left 7 units?
Make It Shift • To move the graph down 4 units and left 7 units use the transformation f(x + 7) - 4
Numerical Results • Given the functiondefined by a table • Determine the value of the following transformations
