how using transformations can help one graph functions?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Basic information

f(x) = known parent function, like sin(x), cos(x), ..., exp(x), ln(x), .etcg(x) = transformed functionSay, g(x) = cfbx-a+d

Affects of constants a, b, c, d on f(x). a = Shift the f(x) rightwards by 'a' steps if a> 0Shift the f(x) lefttwards by 'a' steps if a< 0b = stretch the fx-a horizontally by factor 'b' if 0<b<1compress the fx-a horizontally by factor 'b' if b>1Gives mirror image of 'fbx-a' across y=b, if b<0. c = compress  the 'f(bx-a)' vertically by factor 'c' if 0<c<1stretch  the 'f(bx-a)' vertically by factor 'c' if c>1Gives mirror image of 'cfbx-a' across x=c, if c<0.d = Shift the 'cf(bx-a) upwards by 'd' steps if d> 0Shift the 'cf(bx-a) downwards by 'd' steps if d< 0
