Steps for a Sequence of Transformations Apply the following steps when graphing by hand a function containing more than one transformation. Apply the transformations in this order:. Start with parentheses look for possible horizontal shift This could be a vertical shift if the power of x is not 1. These steps are basically just following order of operations. It is possible to express transformations, in a form similar to: remembering that x needs a power of one for a horizontal shift.
Describe the transformations associated with. By examining the "types" of transformations, we can observe that two vertical oriented transformations are being applied, which tells us that we need to be careful that the transformations are applied in the proper order, if we want to end up with the correct graph.
Do you see the pitfall with this problem? At first glance, you may want to say that there is a horizontal shift 4 units right. The x 3 - 4 does not indicate a horizontal shift. Yes, it is parentheses, but it is not x to the first power, which would associate the 4 with the x -coordinate. This is a vertical shift , not a horizontal shift.
There is a vertical shift of 4 units downward indicated in the parentheses. This inner most parentheses is indicating a vertical shift.
The scale factor of a dilation is the factor by which each linear measure of the figure for example, a side length is multiplied. The figure below shows a dilation with scale factor 2 , centered at the origin. Names of standardized tests are owned by the trademark holders and are not affiliated with Varsity Tutors LLC.

Transformations There are three kinds of isometric transformations of 2 -dimensional shapes: translations, rotations, and reflections.
Translations A translation is a sliding of a figure. So f of x minus 2. So this is the relationship. And it's important to realize here. When I get f of x minus 2 here-- and remember the function is being evaluated, this is the input. When I subtract the 2, this is shifting the function to the right, which is a little bit counter-intuitive unless you go through this exercise right over here. If it was f of x plus 2 we would have actually shifted f to the left.
Now let's think about this one. This one seems kind of wacky. So first of all, g of x, it almost looks like a mirror image but it looks like it's been flattened out. So let's think of it this way. Let's take the mirror image of what g of x is. So I'm going to try my best to take the mirror image of it. So let's see It gets to about 2 there, then it gets pretty close to 1 right over there. And then it gets about right over there. So if I were to take its mirror image, it looks something like this.
Its mirror image if I were to reflect it across the x-axis. It looks something like this. So this right over here we would call-- so if this is g of x, when we flip it that way, this is the negative g of x. You take the negative of that, you get positive. So that's negative g of x. But that still doesn't get us. It looks like we actually have to triple this value for any point. And you see it here. This gets to 2, but we need to get to 6. This gets to 1, but we need to get to 3. So it looks like this red graph right over here is 3 times this graph.
