Study Notes

  • These notes cover function transformations, focusing on how to write rules for transformed graphs based on the original function, f(x).
  • The transformations include translations, reflections, and stretches/shrinks.

Problem 1: f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 5

  • Original function: f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 5.
  • Transformation 1: Translation 1 unit left → replace x with (x + 1).
  • Transformation 2: Reflection in the x-axis → multiply the function by -1.
  • Transformation 3: Vertical stretch by a factor of 2 → multiply the function by 2.
  • Resulting g(x): g(x) = 2[-(x+1)³ + 6(x+1)² - 5] which simplifies to g(x) = -2x³ + 6x² + 18x.

Problem 2: f(x) = 3x⁴ + x³ + 3x² + 12

  • Original function: f(x) = 3x⁴ + x³ + 3x² + 12.
  • Transformation 1: Horizontal shrink by a factor of 1/3 → replace x with 3x.
  • Transformation 2: Translation 8 units down → subtract 8 from the function.
  • Transformation 3: Reflection in the y-axis → replace x with -x.
  • Resulting g(x): g(x) = 3(-x)⁴ + (-x)³ + 3(-x)² + 12 - 8 and simplifies to g(x) = 243x⁴ - 27x³ + 27x² + 4.

Problem 3: f(x) = x³ - 6

  • Original function: f(x) = x³ - 6.
  • Transformation 1: Translation 3 units left → replace x with (x+3).
  • Transformation 2: Reflection in the y-axis → replace x with -x.
  • Resulting g(x): g(x) = (-x)³ + 9(-x)² - 27(-x) + 21, which simplifies to g(x) = -x³ + 9x² - 27x + 21.

Problem 4: f(x) = x² + 2x + 6

  • Original function: f(x) = x² + 2x + 6.
  • Transformation 1: Vertical stretch by a factor of 2 → multiply the function by 2.
  • Transformation 2: Translation 4 units right → replace x with (x - 4).
  • Resulting g(x): g(x) = 2((x - 4)² + 2(x - 4) + 6) = 2x² -12x + 28.

Problem 5: f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 9

  • Original function: f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 9.
  • Transformation 1: Horizontal stretch of 2 → replace x with (1/2)x.
  • Transformation 2: Translation 2 units up → add 2 to the function.
  • Transformation 3: Reflection in the x-axis → multiply the function by -1.
  • Resulting g(x): g(x) = -((1/2x)³ + 2((1/2)x²) - 9 + 2) = -1/8x³ - 1/2x² + 7.

Problem 6: f(x) = 2x² + 6x - 9

  • Original function: f(x) = 2x² + 6x - 9.
  • Transformation 1: Translation 1 unit left → replace x with (x+1).
  • Transformation 2: Reflection in the y-axis → replace x with -x.
  • Transformation 3: Translation 3 units down → subtract 3 from the function.
  • Resulting g(x): g(x) = 2(-x)² + 10(-x) - 1 - 3 = 2x² - 10x - 4.
