5 Transformations of
Functions
Chapter 1.6 and 1.7
become familiar with functions and their many representations, as well
as begin to be able to draw conclusions and make generalizations
Learning Goals – We are learning:
 To investigate transformations of parent functions.

Success Criteria - I will be successful when:

 I can identify and describe transformations from equations of functions.
 I can graph transformed functions according to the order of transformations
(We may use the mapping rule)
Overall and Specific Expectations
demonstrate an understanding of functions, their representations, and their inverses,
and make connections between the algebraic and graphical representations of
functions using transformations;
1.4 relate the process of determining the inverse of a function to their understanding of reverse
processes
1.5 determine the numeric or graphical representation of the inverse of a linear or quadratic function,
given the numeric, graphical, or algebraic representation of the function, and make connections, through
investigation using a variety of tools between the graph of a function and the graph of its inverse
1.6 determine, through investigation, the relationship between the domain and range of a function and
the domain and range of the inverse relation, and determine whether or not the inverse relation is a
function
1.7 determine, using function notation when appropriate, the algebraic representation of the inverse of
a linear or quadratic function, given the algebraic representation of the function and make connections,
through investigation using a variety of tools between the algebraic representations of a function and its
inverse

Investigation
 Use your graphing calculator to
complete the investigation on pg. 50,
answer A-G.
The parameter a

 The parameter a affects the

graph by vertically stretching
or compressing
 It also determines whether or
not the graph has been
reflected across the x-axis
The parameter k

 The parameter k affects the graph

by horizontally stretching or
compressing
 It also determines whether or not
the graph has been reflected across
the y-axis
The parameter d, c

 The parameter d, c affects the graph by translating horizontally and vertically

Graph the Function

Determine the domain and range.

Examples

 Apply the transformations on

 Horizontal stretch by a factor of 3
 Vertical stretch by a factor of 2
 Reflection in y-axis
 Translation 5 units right and 4 units up

 What is the equation?

 Sketch both graphs.
 What are the domain and range?
Examples

 If and , sketch the graph of .

Key ideas

 You can graph functions of the form by applying the transformations one-by-
one
