Key Concepts

Function Transformations

Function transformations refer to the process of altering the basic graph of a function through operations such as translations, reflections, stretches, and compressions. These modifications systematically change the shape, position, or orientation of the graph while preserving the underlying function structure.

Vertical Reflection

Vertical reflection occurs when the outputs of a function are multiplied by -1, effectively flipping the graph over the horizontal axis. This transformation inverts the vertical position of each point, making peaks become valleys and vice versa.

Vertical Translation

Vertical translation involves adding or subtracting a constant from the function, which shifts the entire graph up or down without altering its shape. This movement affects every point on the graph uniformly along the vertical direction.

Vertical Scaling

Vertical scaling, or stretching/compressing, is achieved by multiplying the function by a constant factor. A factor greater than 1 stretches the graph vertically, amplifying the distances from the horizontal axis, while a factor between 0 and 1 compresses the graph towards the horizontal axis.
