Transforming Functions Worksheet

The document discusses transformations of functions. It provides examples of common transformations including vertical and horizontal translations, stretches/compressions, and reflections. It gives the appearance of each transformation in the function equation and how it transforms points in the xy-plane. The document then provides examples applying multiple transformations to functions through word problems and graphing.
