Write g(x) in terms of f(x). Apply one transformation at a time.
Transformations: The transformations are a vertical stretch by a factor of 5, then a vertical translation 1 unit up.
We are asked to graph f(x)=x and g(x)=5x+1. Also, we need to find the transformations from the graph of f to the graph of g.
To graph f(x), we will first make a table of values.
x | f(x) |
---|---|
-1 | -1 |
0 | 0 |
1 | 1 |
Before graphing, let's rewrite g(x) in terms of f(x). g(x)=5x+1 ⇒ g(x)=5f(x)+1 Note that the first part of the function is 5f(x), which means that the parent function f(x)=x is vertically stretched by a factor of 5.
Now, we can see that the second term of g(x) is + 1, which means a vertical translation 1 unit up from the graph of 5f(x).
Therefore, we found that the graph of g(x)=5x+1 is a vertical stretch by a factor of 5, then a vertical translation 1 unit up from the graph of f.
