Math 181 : Transformations of a Graph
Math 181: Transformations
This applet illustrates the transformations of the graph of a "parent" function f(x) which can be entered. The sliders control the parameters which determine transformations.
Horizontal Changes: First shift then compress/stretch:
h --> horizontal shift (by h units)
a --> horizontal stretch/compression by factor of a (& horizontal reflection if negative)
Vertical Changes: First compress/stretch, then shift:
b --> vertical stretch/compression by factor of b (& vertical reflection if negative)
k --> vertical shift (by k units)
