Answer: the first thing is your answer :)

thx for the points

Explanation:

g

(

x

)

=

x

2

3

The parent function is the simplest form of the type of function given.

f

(

x

)

=

x

2

The transformation being described is from

f

(

x

)

=

x

2

to

g

(

x

)

=

x

2

3

.

f

(

x

)

=

x

2

g

(

x

)

=

x

2

The horizontal shift depends on the value of

h

. The horizontal shift is described as:

g

(

x

)

=

f

(

x

+

h

)

- The graph is shifted to the left

h

units.

g

(

x

)

=

f

(

x

h

)

- The graph is shifted to the right

h

units.

In this case,

h

=

0

which means that the graph is not shifted to the left or right.

Horizontal Shift: None

The vertical shift depends on the value of

k

. The vertical shift is described as:

g

(

x

)

=

f

(

x

)

+

k

- The graph is shifted up

k

units.

g

(

x

)

=

f

(

x

)

k

- The graph is shifted down

k

units.

Vertical Shift: Down

3

Units

The graph is reflected about the x-axis when

g

(

x

)

=

f

(

x

)

.

Reflection about the x-axis: None

The graph is reflected about the y-axis when

g

(

x

)

=

f

(

x

)

.

Reflection about the y-axis: None

Compressing and stretching depends on the value of

a

.

When

a

is greater than

1

: Vertically stretched

When

a

is between

0

and

1

: Vertically compressed

Vertical Compression or Stretch: None

Compare and list the transformations.

Parent Function:

f

(

x

)

=

Horizontal Shift: None

Vertical Shift: Down

Units

Reflection about the x-axis: None

Reflection about the y-axis: None

Vertical Compression or Stretch: None
