Exercise 4 Page 212

Rewrite each transformation using the parent function, f(x), and then compare them to the graph.

g(x), h(x), k(x), and q(x)

Practice makes perfect

Let's begin by figuring out how each transformation affects the parent function, f(x)=x-1.

Transformed Function f(x)→? Simplified
g(x)=f( x+2) ( x+2)-1 g(x)=x+1
k(x)=f(x) + 4 (x-1) + 4 k(x)=x+3
r(x)= 3f(x) 3(x-1) r(x)=3x-3
h(x)=f( 3x) 3x-1 h(x)=3x-1
p(x)=f( - x) - x-1 p(x)=- x-1
q(x)= - f(x) -(x-1) q(x)=- x+1
Now we can look at the given graph and find the slope and y-intercept for each function.

We can then compare these requirements to the equations that we just found.

Function Color Slope y-intercept Equation Corresponding Function
Blue -1 1 y=- x+1 q(x)
Red 3 -1 y=3x-1 h(x)
Green 1 1 y=x+1 g(x)
Purple 1 3 y=x+3 k(x)
