Function Transformations

Changes made to a function, including dilations (stretching or shrinking) and translations (shifts).

Dilation

A transformation that changes the size of a function's graph.

Translation

A transformation that shifts a function's graph.

Equation of transformed function

The equation of a function 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑓 𝑎 𝑥 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 represents a transformation of 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥, where 𝑘, 𝑎, 𝑏, & 𝑐 control the transformation.

Vertical Translation

Moving a graph up or down along the y-axis. Positive values shift the graph up, negative values shift it down.
