Here are the 5 rules for what happens to each point of a graph when x is replaced by something in the right side of the equation. Assume in all cases that k is a positive number. 1. Replacing x by -x [Reflects graph across the y-axis] 2. Replacing x by (x+k) [Shifts graph k units left] 3. Replacing x by (x-k). [Shifts graph k units right] 4. Replacing x by kx, where k > 1 [Shrinks graph horizontally by a factor of 1/k. 5. Replacing x byx, where k > 1 [Stretches graph horizontally by a factor of k. Here are the 5 rules for what happens to a graph when something is done to the right side of the equation: 6. Multiplying the right side of the equation by -1 [Reflects graph across the x-axis] 7. Adding k to the right side of the equation [Shifts graph k units upward] 8. Subtracting k from the right side of an equation [Shifts graph k units downward] 9. Multiplying the right side of the equation by k, where k > 1 [Stretches graph vertically by a factor of k] 10. Multiplying the right side of the equation by k, where 0 < k < 1 [Shrinks graph vertically by a factor of 1/k] ----------------------------- We are to find . Using rule 5, replacing x in the right side of the equation of f(x) by would stretch horizontally by a factor of 2, So A(-2,0) would stretch horizontally to (-2*2,0) = (-4,0), B(0,2) would stretch horizontally to (0*2,2) = (0,2) C(3,-1) would stretch horizontally to (3*2,-1) = (6,-1) D(4,4) would stretch horizontally to (4*2,0) = (8,0) Then by rule 8, subtracting 4 from the right side of would shift vertically DOWNWARD by 4 units So (-4,0) would shift vertically downward to A'(-4,0-4) = A'(-4,-4) (0,2) would shift vertically downward to B'(0,2-4) = B'(0,-2) (6,-1) would shift vertically downward to C'(6,-1-4) = C'(6,-5) (8,0) would shift vertically downward to D'(8,0-4) = D'(8,-4) Edwin
