Question 1029565: I am supposed to compare each given function to its parent function, and circling all appropriate descriptions.
a) f(x)=-5 tan x +2 is a:
shift upward 2 units
shift left 2 units
stretch vertically by 1/5
stretch vertically by 5
shift right 2 units
reflection in the y-axis
and
b) r(t)=4 sin (t+1) is a:
reflection in y=4
shift right 1 unit
shift upward 1 unit
stretch horizontally by 4
stretch vertically by 1/4
shift right 4 units
Thanks for any help!

compare each given function to its parent function, and circling all appropriate descriptions.
a) f(x)=-5 tan x +2 is a:
shift upward 2 units:: moves each y-value up 2 to -5tan(x+) + 4
---------------------------------------------------
shift left 2 units:: moves graph left 2 to -5*tan(x+2) + 2
-------------------------------------------------
stretch vertically by 1/5:: narrows the graph to -tan(x)+2
-----------------------------------------------
stretch vertically by 5:: widens the graph to -25tan(x)+2
---------------------------------------------------
shift right 2 units:: moves graph right to -5tan(x-2)+2
------------------------------------------
reflection in the y-axis:: flips graph over the y-axis to +5tan(x)+2
---------------------------------------------
I'll leave "b" to you.
