Study Notes

Dilations of Functions

  • Dilations are multiplicative transformations.
  • Vertical Dilations:
    • Given a graph f(x), if g(x) = af(x), the graph of g(x) is a vertical stretch or compression of f(x) by a factor of |a|. If a > 1, it's a vertical stretch. If 0 < a < 1, it's a vertical compression. If a < 0, there's a vertical stretch or compression, and a reflection over the x-axis.
  • Horizontal Dilations:
    • If g(x) = f(bx), the graph of g(x) is a horizontal stretch or compression of f(x) by a factor of 1/|b|. If b > 1, it's a horizontal compression. If 0 < b < 1, it's a horizontal stretch. If b < 0, there's a horizontal compression or stretch, and a reflection over the y-axis.
  • Combined Transformations: Transformations can be combined.
    • Order matters: Horizontal transformations are applied before vertical transformations in the function.
    • Example: g(x) = a f(b(x – c)) + d where "a" affects the vertical scale, "b" affects the horizontal scale, "c" shifts the graph horizontally, and "d" shifts the graph vertically.

Algebraic Transformations

  • Given a function, find another function based on transformations of the original.
  • Example: if f(x) = x² – 3x + 2, and g(x) = 2f(x) + 4, what is g(x)?
  • The transformation of the function is expressed in terms of x.

Numerical Transformations

  • Transformations of functions based on data represented in a table.
  • Example: If a table of values for f(x) is given, and g(x) = af(x) +d, evaluate g(x) at a specific point.

Domain and Range Transformations

  • Given the domain and range of a function, determine the domain and range of a transformation.
  • Examples: How do horizontal and vertical dilations affect the domain and range?
  • If f(x) has domain [a, b] and a range [c, d], determine the domain and range of g(x) = af(bx + c) + d.
