Basic Transformation On Graph

1) Basic transformations on a graph include rigid transformations that change the location but not the size or shape, and non-rigid transformations that change the size and/or shape. 2) Vertical translations shift the graph up or down by adding or subtracting a constant. Horizontal translations shift the graph left or right by adding or subtracting from the x-coordinate. 3) Reflections produce a mirror image of the graph about the x or y-axis by multiplying the y or x-coordinates by -1 respectively.

Basic Transformation on Graph

Basic Transformation on Graph


When the graph of a function is changed in appearance and/or location

we call it a transformation. There are two types of transformations.

A rigid transformation changes the location of the function in a

coordinate plane, but leaves the size and shape of the graph unchanged.

A non-rigid transformation changes the size and/or shape of the

graph.

Vertical and Horizontal Translations

A vertical translation is a rigid transformation that shifts a graph up or down

relative to the original graph. This occurs when a constant is added to any

function. If we add a positive constant to each y-coordinate, the graph will shift up.

If we add a negative constant, the graph will shift down.

Example:-

A horizontal translation is a rigid transformation that shifts a graph

left or right relative to the original graph. This occurs when we add or

subtract constants from the x-coordinate before the function is applied.

g(x)=(x+3)2   and h(x)=(x−3)2

Sketch the graph of g(x)=|x+3|−5.

Start with the absolute value function and apply the following

transformations.
y=|x| Basic Function

Y=|x+3| Horizontal shift left 3units

Y=|x+3|−5 Vertical Shift down 5 units

Sketch the graph of g(x)={1/(x-5)} +3.

Y=1/x Basic function

Y=1/(x−5) Horizontal shift right 5 units

Y={1/(x−5)}+3 Vertical shift up 3 units

Reflections
A reflection is a transformation in which a mirror image of the

graph is produced about an axis. In this section, we will

consider reflections about the x- and y-axis.

The graph of a function is reflected about the x-axis if each y-

coordinate is multiplied by −1.

The graph of a function is reflected about the y-axis if each x-

coordinate is multiplied by −1 before the function is applied.

Dilations

Horizontal and vertical translations, as well as reflections,

are called rigid transformations because the shape of the

basic graph is left unchanged, or rigid.

Functions that are multiplied by a real number other than

1, depending on the real number, appear to be stretched

vertically or stretched horizontally. This type of non-rigid

transformation is called a dilation.
