When transformations to functions are combined, sometimes the order (or sequence) in which
the transformations are applied matters, and makes a difference to the resulting graph
When two transformations in different directions (ie: one vertical, one horizontal) are
combined, the order of performing the transformations does NOT matter, regardless of the
type of transformations.
When compressions / expansions / reflections in the SAME direction are combined, the order of
performing the transformations does NOT matter either. This is because all these
transformations are based on multiplication or division, which are operations for which order
does not make a difference.
When a compression / expansion / reflection is combined with a TRANSLATION in the same
direction, then the order of performing the transformations DOES matter. This is because
these compression / expansion / reflection transformations are based on multiplication and
division, meanwhile translations are based on addition and subtraction and so the sequence
(or order) of performing these combined transformations DOES make a difference to the
resulting graph or function.
Equations of functions expressed in the Standard Form correspond to
transformations applied in the following order:
