Vertical and Horizontal Shifts We use these two graphs to demonstrate shifts, or translations, in the xy-plane. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 2
Vertical Shifts A graph is shifted up or down. The shape of the graph is not changed—only its position. Every point moves upward 2. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 3
Horizontal Shifts A graph is shifted right: replace x with (x – 2) Every point moves right 2. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 4
Horizontal Shifts A graph is shifted left: replace x with (x + 3), Every point moves left 3. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 5
Vertical and Horizontal Shifts Let f be a function, and let c be a positive number. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 6
Combining Shifts can be combined to translate a graph of y = f(x) both vertically and horizontally. Shift the graph of y = |x| to the right 2 units and downward 4 units. y = |x| y = |x – 2| 4 Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 7
Example: Combining vertical and horizontal shifts Complete the following. (a) Write an equation that shifts the graph of f(x) = x 2 left 2 units. Graph your equation. (b) Write an equation that shifts the graph of f(x) = x 2 left 2 units and downward 3 units. Graph your equation. Solution To shift the graph left 2 units, replace x with x + 2.

Example: Combining vertical and horizontal shifts (b) Write an equation that shifts the graph of f(x) = x 2 left 2 units and downward 3 units. Graph your equation. Solution To shift the graph left 2 units, and downward 3 units, we subtract 3 from the equation found in part (a). Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 9
Vertical Stretching and Shrinking If the point (x, y) lies on the graph of y = f(x), then the point (x, cy) lies on the graph of y = cf(x). If c > 1, the graph of y = cf(x) is a vertical stretching of the graph of y = f(x), whereas if 0 < c < 1 the graph of y = cf(x) is a vertical shrinking of the graph of y = f(x).

Horizontal Stretching and Shrinking If the point (x, y) lies on the graph of y = f(x), then the point (x/c, y) lies on the graph of y = f(cx). If c > 1, the graph of y = f(cx) is a horizontal shrinking of the graph of y = f(x), whereas if 0 < c < 1 the graph of y = f(cx) is a horizontal stretching of the graph of y = f(x).

Horizontal Stretching and Shrinking Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 13
Example: Stretching and shrinking of a graph Use the graph of y = f(x) to sketch the graph of each equation. a) y = 3 f(x) b) Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 14
Example: Stretching and shrinking of a graph Solution a) y = 3 f(x) Vertical stretching Multiply each y-coordinate on the graph by 3. ( 1, – 2 3) = ( 1, – 6) (0, 1 3) = (0, 3) (2, – 1 3) = (2, – 3) Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 15
Example: Stretching and shrinking of a graph Solution continued b) Horizontal stretching Multiply each x-coordinate on the graph by 2 or divide by ½. ( 1 2, – 2) = ( 2, – 2) (0 2, 1) = (0, 1) (2 2, – 1) = (4, – 1) Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 16
Reflection of Graphs Across the x- and y-Axes 1. The graph of y = –f(x) is a reflection of the graph of y = f(x) across the x-axis. 2. The graph of y = f(–x) is a reflection of the graph of y = f(x) across the y-axis. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 17
Reflection of Graphs Across the x- and y-axes Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 18
Example: Reflecting graphs of functions For the representation of f, graph the reflection across the x-axis and across the yaxis. The graph of f is a line graph determined by the table. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 19
Example: Reflecting graphs of functions Solution Here’s the graph of y = f(x). Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 20
Example: Reflecting graphs of functions Solution continued To graph the reflection of f across the x-axis, start by making a table of values for y = –f(x) by negating each y-value in the table for f(x). Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 21
Example: Reflecting graphs of functions Solution continued To graph the reflection of f across the y-axis, start by making a table of values for y = f(–x) by negating each x-value in the table for f(x). Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 22
Combining Transformations of graphs can be combined to create new graphs. For example the graph of y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3 can be obtained by performing four transformations on the graph of y = x 2. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 23
Combining Transformations 1. Shift the graph 1 unit right: y = (x – 1)2. 2. Vertically stretch the graph by factor of 2: y = 2(x – 1)2. 3. Reflect the graph across the x-axis: y = 2(x – 1)2. 4. Shift the graph upward 3 units: y = 2(x – 1)2 + 3. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 24
Combining Transformations continued Stretch vertically by a factor of 2 Shift to the left 1 unit. y = 2(x – Reflect across the x-axis. 2 1) +3 Shift upward 3 units. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. 25
