If P(4,-5) is a point on the graph of the
function y=f(x), find the corresponding point
on the graph of y = 2f(x-6). Not sure but I
think it is (6,8). Thanks for looking it over.
I'm afraid that's wrong.
y = 2f(x-6)
This requires two operations of y = f(x)
1. First we go from
y = f(x)
to
y = f(x-6)
That shifts the graph 6 units right.
So the point (4,-5)
moves right to the point (10, -5) on the graph of
y = f(x-6)
2. Then we go from
y = f(x-6)
to
y = 2f(x-6)
That stretches the graph double vertically.
Imagine the graph drawn on a rubber sheet
and stretched double vertically. The points
above the x-axis will stretch twice as high
and the points below the x-axis will stretch
twice as low. Therefore the point (10. -5),
being below the x-axis, will stretch twice
as low or down to (10, -10)
