1. Let 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥

➔ We can notice that this function is linear

➔ As we know in this function, we don't have a y-intercept therefore it passes in (0,0)
➔ End of the behavior: The function is increasing because the function is rising therefore in the graph goes

b) Graph 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) and the other three functions on the same set of axes

Observation: There is a linear trend in all functions, where they have an increasing behavior, being positive and
parallel with each other. All the lines made have a slope of 3, thus determining that translations were made in
the function of positive and negative type. The above is demonstrated with the intersection in the X and Y axis
since it is not the same in all the graphed lines because changes were generated in the equation due to an
addition of 2, -3 and 6, which displaced the two variables and the behavior of the line.

 b. Graph 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) and the other three functions on the same set of axes

3. Describe the transformation which maps 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) onto 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑑

In the function f (x), a cubic parabolic function is shown which only has an intercept (0,0), this being an increasing
and symmetric graph, this graph presents a real path because its domain is the entire set of real numbers. When
the transformations of the graph are carried out, adding 2, -3 and 6, to the function, it is possible to identify that
it produces positive and negative translations in the Y-axis, which leads to changes in the intercept points of the
X and axes. And, going from a single intercept to two. On the other hand, the behavior of the graph is the same,
and these symmetric functions are presented to each other.

 c. Copy and complete:
For the transformation 𝑦 = 𝑝 𝑓 (𝑥), 𝑝 ≻ 0, each point because steeper times its
pervious distance from the x-axis
d. Does any point on the graph not move under this transformation? Explain your
answer
The only point at which the graph does not move is the intersection with the x-axis (-2,0), that is, at
its root, since this is the “0” point of the function, in other words the reference point.

Observations: The initial function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 2 is linear, increasing and tends towards infinity, this
when suffering 𝑦 = 𝑝 × 𝑓(𝑥), 𝑝 > 0, will present a transformation of the function, since when
presenting p with values From 3 and 5, the graph will be steeper and with a value of 0.5 that is less
than that of the initial function, there will be a greater inclination, therefore this transformation will
have a point in common on the X axis, with its movement according to the distance from the X axis ,
observing this change in the slope of the line. Additionally, it is identified that these lines are not
parallel to each other.

16
 c. Copy and complete:
For the transformation 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑞𝑥), 𝑞 ≻ 0, each point becomes steeper times its
previous distance from the x-axis

d. Does any point on the graph not move under this transformation? Explain your
answer
The point that does not move is at the intersection with the y-axis (0,2), therefore, by
changing the value of q, the slope of the line is being changed directly, but the
ordinate of the origin is maintained, that is, the point where the Y axis intersects.

Observations: The function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 2 undergoes changes in its slope when q

!
presents the values 2, " and 4 and the value of the ordinate of origin remains
constant, therefore the line will suffer inclinations and will be more inclined as the
slope of the line increases. These lines are not parallel but whose meeting point is the
intersection with the Y axis.

 Observations: The function 𝑓𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 3 is linear and grows towards infinity when it undergoes a
transformation −𝑓(𝑥) becomes −𝑓𝑥 = −2𝑥 − 3and this line is decreasing, which is why a reflection
of the function is presented , whose point of interaction is on the x-axis (-2,0) and the slope of the line
changes. On the other hand, when 𝑓(−𝑥)is transformed, the function becomes 𝑓(−𝑥) = −2𝑥 + 3, it
also presents a reflection, but an additional change is generated in the ordinate, therefore a
translation is presented in the X axis.

b. Graph 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥), 𝑦 = −𝑓(𝑥), 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 𝑓(−𝑥) on the same set of axes

22
Observations: The cubic function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 " + 1 presents a behavior of growing towards infinity,
when the function undergoes a transformation−𝑓(𝑥) occurs in the function a translation and
reflection of the graph where it will present intersection point with x with the function f (x) in (-1,0)
and in the case of the transformation of f (-x), this function suffers only reflection so that their values
and growth will be opposite but having interaction at the intersection point of y in (0,1). In this way, it
is possible to demonstrate how a change in signs generates significant changes in the behavior of the
functions and in the way the graphs are interpreted.

3. What transformation moves:

a. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) to 𝑦 = −𝑓(𝑥)
When the graphs are 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) undergoes a transformation 𝑦 = −𝑓(𝑥) a vertical reflection
occurs, since the slope and the coordinate of the origin of the line change sign, thus changing.
In this way the reflected points will occur on the X axis
b. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) to 𝑦 = 𝑓(−𝑥)
When the graph 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) undergoes a transformation 𝑦 = 𝑓(−𝑥) It will reflect on the Y axis,
so only the slope of the graph will change but the ordinate remains constant. The new graph
will present the opposite points on the X axis.
