Example 1A: Translating and Reflecting Functions


Let g(x) be the indicated transformation of
f(x). Write the rule for g(x).
f(x) = x 2 , horizontal translation right 3 units
Translating f(x) 3 units right subtracts 3 from each
input value.
g(x) = f(x 3)

Subtract 3 from the input of f(x).

g(x) = (x 3) 2 Evaluate f at x 3.

Transforming Linear Functions

Stretches and compressions change the slope of a


linear function. If the line becomes steeper, the
function has been stretched vertically or compressed
horizontally. If the line becomes flatter, the function
has been compressed vertically or stretched
horizontally.

Transforming Linear Functions

Some linear functions involve more than one


transformation by applying individual
transformations one at a time in the order in
which they are given.
For multiple transformations, create a
temporary functionsuch as h(x) in Example 3
belowto represent the first transformation,
and then transform it to find the combined
transformation.
