OBJECTIVES
• The student will be able to:
• Transform linear functions
• Solve problems involving linear transformations
TRANSFORMING LINEAR FUNCTIONS
• What
is a transformation?
• Answer: A transformation is a change in the position, size, or
shape of a figure or graph.
• What is a Linear function?
• Answer: is a function, meaning we have an input and an output,
that can be written in the form . Its graph is a line.
• If we transforming linear functions , we can say we are changing
the linear function either the way it looks in the graph or the
equation.
TRANSFORMING LINEAR FUNCTIONS
• There are four ways we can transform the linear function by :
• Just remember the x changes
TRANSFORMING LINEAR FUNCTIONS
Just remember y changes
TRANSFORMING LINEAR FUNCTIONS
Just remember y is the mirror so the one that changes is the x
TRANSFORMING LINEAR FUNCTIONS
Just remember x is the mirror so the one that changes is the y
EXAMPLE 1
• Let
g(x) be the indicated transformation of f(x).Write the rule
for g(x).
• ; g(x) is a horizontal shift 3 units to the right.
• Solution:
• subtract 3 from the input
• evaluate f at x-3
EXAMPLE 2
• Let
g(x) be the indicated transformation of f(x).Write the rule
for g(x).
• ; g(x) is reflected about the y-axis.
• Solution:
• change the input of f
•
• simplify
STUDENT PRACTICE
EXAMPLE 3
• Let
g(x) be the indicated transformation of f(x).Write the rule
for g(x).
• ; g(x) is a vertical shift (vertical translation) 3 units down.
STUDENT PRACTICE
EXAMPLE 4
• Let
g(x) be the indicated transformation of f(x).Write the rule
for g(x).
• ; g(x) is a reflection across the x-axis.
LETS COMBINE TRANSFORMATIONS
EXAMPLE 5
• Let
g(x) be the indicated transformation of f(x).Write the rule
for g(x).
• ; g(x) is a vertical shift (vertical translation) 3 units down
followed by a reflection across the x-axis
• .Solution:
• First lets take care of the vertical translation
• substitute
• simplify
EXAMPLE 5 CONTINUE
• Then we continue with the reflection across the x-axis
STRETCHES AND COMPRESSION
• 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.
STRETCHES AND COMPRESSIONS
EXAMPLE 6
• Let
g(x) be a vertical compression of f(x) = 3x + 2 by a factor
of 4 . Write the rule for g(x) and graph the function.
• Solution:
• Vertically compressing f(x) by a factor of replaces each f(x)
with a · f(x) where a = 4 .
• substitute
• simplify
STUDENT PRACTICE
EXAMPLE 7
• Let g(x) be a horizontal compression of f(x) = 5x - 2 by a
factor of 1/3 . Write the rule for g(x) and graph the function.
NOW LETS PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER
•Example
8:
Let g(x) be a horizontal compression of f(x) = 6x - 5by a factor
of 1/3 followed by a vertical translation 4 units up . Lets h(x)
be the horizontal compression and g(x) the vertical translation.
Write the rule for g(x) and graph the function.
EXAMPLE 8 CONTINUE
• Now lets take care of the translation
• substitute
• simplify
STUDENT PRACTICE
• Do all worksheet

CLOSURE
• Today we talked about transforming linear functions through
translating and reflecting .
• Tomorrow we are going to see scatter plots and the best fit
line.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
