Exercise 36 Page 161

Be sure to think about the horizontal transformations before any vertical transformations. Work from the inside to the outside. Then make a table of values to find points on the graph.

Translations:
A horizontal translation unit to the left.
A vertical stretch by a factor of
A reflection in the axis.
A vertical translation units up.
Graph:

Practice makes perfect

First we will go through all the transformations from the graph of to the graph of given function. After that we will make a table of values to graph this function.

Transformations

The given equation is a transformation of the parent function We can define each transformation from the inside to the outside. We will start with the transformation closest to and end with the farthest from Let's review our function.
First, there is a horizontal translation units to the left, Remember, typically is a horizontal translation units to the right, while is translated units to the left.
