The transformation of a function f(x)\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} into a function g(x)\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}} is given by g(x)=Af(Bx+H)+K\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}}={A}{f{{\left({B}{x}+{H}\right)}}}+{K}.

where the constants
  • A\displaystyle {A} vertically scales the function by a multiplier of A. (Negative A reflects the function about the x-axis.)
  • B\displaystyle {B} horizontally scales the function by a multiplier of 1/B. (Negative B reflects the function about the y-axis.)
  • H\displaystyle {H} horizontally shifts the function by H units. (Negative H shifts the function to the right.)
  • K\displaystyle {K} vertically shifts the function by K units. (Negative K shifts the function down.)
Transform f(x)\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} into g(x)\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}} where the transformation is g(x)=f(x1)+3\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}}={f{{\left({x}-{1}\right)}}}+{3}

The function f(x)\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} is shown below in red. Graph the transformed function g(x)\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}} by first placing a dot at each end point of the new transformed function and then click on the "line segment" button and connect the two blue dots.

Hint: Transform the function by applying the constants in this order: H, B, A, K. First place the two blue dots by shifting the function by H units. Then move the two blue dots by using a multiplier of 1/B. Likewise, continue for A and K. Finally connect the final position of the blue dots with the line segment.
