Question 36559: I have a graph of f(x) and I have to translate it to
I know that the 2 makes it move left 2, and the 6 makes it move up 6, and I know that the 1/2 makes it shrink by half, but I just don't understand how to make it shrink. Can you please help me?
Thanks,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=(1/2)f(x+2)+6
The "shrinking" produced by the (1/2) means y-values
of f(x+2) are each multiplied by (1/2).
So each point is moved 1/2 its distance closer to
the x-axis. Higher ones get moved more than lower
ones because each is moved 1/2 its y value.
