Observations and Tabulations Lab 2

Shifting of Graphs
Aim
To analyze the changes in the graph of a function
according to some slight changes in the definition
Concepts
• Graph of a function
Activity 2.1 Shifting of graphs : f(x) + a
Procedure:
• Draw the graph of f(x) = x2
• Create a number slider a with increment 0.1
• Draw the graph of g(x) = f(x) + a (Input: f + a)
Q. Observe how the graph of g(x) changes according
to a

ANS : Graph of g(x) is obtained by,

shifting the graph of f(x) by a units

 vertically upwards if a is positive and


 vertically downwards if a is negative.

• Create Input Boxes for editing function and slider a


Q. Do the above observations for different functions
such as |x|, [x], x.

ANS: In each case the graph of g(x) is obtained by,


shifting the graph of f(x) by a units

 vertically upwards if a is positive and


 vertically downwards if a is negative.

Activity 2.2 Shifting of graphs : f(x + a)
Procedure:
• Open a new GeoGebra window.
• Draw the graph of f(x) = x2
• Create a number slider a with increment 0.1
• Draw the graph of g(x) = f(x + a). (Input: f (x + a))
Q. Observe how the graph of g(x) changes according
to a.
ANS: Graph of g(x) is obtained by,
shifting the graph of f(x) by a units parallel to x axis
 towards left if a is positive and
 towards right if a is negative.
• Create Input Boxes for the function f and slider a.
Q. Generalise the above observations with different
functions such as |x|, [x], x3
ANS: In each case the graph of g(x) is obtained by,
shifting the graph of f(x) by a units parallel to x axis
 towards left if a is positive and

towards right if a is negative. • Save this as Activity 2.2
Activity 2.3 Reflection of a graph : −f(x)
Procedure:
• Open a new GeoGebra window.
• Draw the graph of f(x) = x2
• Draw the graph of g(x) = −f(x) (Input: -f)
Q. Compare the graphs of f(x) and g(x).
ANS: The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of
each other with respect to the x axis.
• Create an Input Box for f and change the function to
i) x2 + 2 ii) x2 − 1 iii) |x| − 1
iv) |x − 1| v) [x] vi) x2 + 2x + 1 vii) 1/x
Q. Compare the graphs of f and g in each case.
ANS: The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each
other with respect to the x axis.

Activity 2.4 Reflection of a graph : f(−x)
Procedure:
• Open a new GeoGebra window
• Draw the graph of f(x) = x3
• Draw the graph of g(x) = f(−x) (Input: f(-x))
Q. Compare the graphs of f(x) and g(x)
ANS: The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each
other with respect to the y axis.
• Create an Input Box for f and change the function to
i) 1/x ii) [x] iii) |x|
iv) x2 v) (x − 2)2
Q. Compare the graphs of f and g in each case.
ANS: (i) The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of
each other with respect to the y axis or x axis

(ii) The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each


other with respect to the y axis.

(iii) The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each


other with respect to the y axis and f(x) = g(x)

(iv) The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each


other with respect to the y axis and f(x) = g(x)

(v) The graph of f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each


other with respect to the y axis.
Q. What is the speciality of the graphs of odd and even
A function f(x) is
functions?
 an even function if f(−x) = f(x) and
ANS:
 an odd function if f(−x) = −f(x).
For an even function graph is symmetric with respect
to Y axis.
For an odd function graph is symmetric with respect to
origin.(self symmetric)
Q. Identify odd and even functions discussed in this
lab.
ANS: Odd functions  1/x
Even functions  |x| and x2
Q. Is there any function which is neither odd nor even?
ANS: Yes. [x] and (x − 2)2.
