    This document discusses various transformations of graphs: Vertical shifts move the graph up or down depending on whether a number is added or subtracted from the function. Horizontal shifts move the graph left or right depending on whether a number is added or subtracted from the input variable. Vertical stretches and compressions multiply the outputs by a number greater or less than 1, respectively. Horizontal stretches and compressions multiply the inputs by a number greater or less than 1, respectively. Reflections about the x or y-axis involve multiplying all outputs or inputs by -1, respectively.

    MATH PROJECT
    SHIFTS
    Vertical Shifts: If a real number k is added to the right
    side of a function y = f (x), the graph of the new
    function y = f (x) + k is the graph of f shifted vertically
    up (if k > 0) or down (if k < 0).

    Horizontal Shifts: If the argument x of a function f is


    replaced by x − h, the graph of the new function y = f
    (x − h) is the graph of f shifted horizontally left (if h <
    0) or right (if h > 0).
    COMPRESSIONS AND
    STRETCHES
    Vertical: When the right side of a function y = f (x) is
    multiplied by a positive number a, the graph of the new
    function y = af (x) is obtained by multiplying each y-
    coordinate of y = f (x) by a. A vertical compression results
    if 0 < a < 1 and a vertical stretch occurs if a > 1.

    Horizontal: When the argument x of a function y = f (x) is


    multiplied by a positive number a, the graph of the new
    function y = f (ax) is obtained by multiplying each x-
    coordinate of y = f (x) by 1/a. A horizontal compression
    results if a > 1 and a horizontal stretch occurs if 0 < a < 1.
    REFLECTIONS
    Reflection about the x-axis: When the right side of the
    function y = f (x) is multiplied by −1, the graph of the new
    function y = −f (x) is the reflection about the x-axis of the
    graph of the function y = f (x). Another way to think about
    this is that all the y-coordinated are multiplied by −1.

    Reflection about the x-axis: When the graph of the function


    y = f (x) is known, the graph of the new function y = f (−x) is
    the reflection about the y-axis of the graph of the function
    y = f (x). Another way to think about this is that all the x-
    coordinated are multiplied by −1.
