What are the three types of transformations in functions?

Translation, Stretching, Reflection.

What effect does f(x+2)f(x + 2) have on the graph?

Moves the graph 2 units to the left.

How is stretching represented in function transformations?

By multiplying f(x)f(x) by a scale factor.

What effect does f(x)3f(x)f(x) \to 3f(x) have on the graph?

Stretch by a scale factor of 3 parallel to the yy-axis.

What transformation does f(x)f(6x)f(x) \to f(6x) represent?

Horizontal compression by a factor of 1/61/6.

What does reflection f(x)f(x)f(x) \to f(-x) signify?

Reflect in the yy-axis.

How does y=x2y = x^2 transform to y=x2+4y = x^2 + 4?

Translated up by 44 units.

What does y=x3y = -x^3 represent in terms of transformations?

Reflection in the xx-axis of the graph y=x3y = x^3.

Describe the transformation y=f(x+3)y = f(x + 3).

Translate graph left by 33 units.

What result comes from applying multiple transformations?

yy-values change as stated, xx-values change oppositely.
