Stretches and Shrinks
You can transform a function by multiplying all the inputs (x-coordinates)
by the same factor a. When a > 1, the transformation is a horizontal shrink
because the graph shrinks toward the y-axis. When 0 < a < 1, the transformation
is a horizontal stretch because the graph stretches away from the y-axis. In each
case, the y-intercept stays the same.
You can also transform a function by multiplying all the outputs ( y-coordinates) by the
same factor a. When a > 1, the transformation is a vertical stretch because the graph
stretches away from the x-axis. When 0 < a < 1, the transformation is a vertical
shrink because the graph shrinks toward the x-axis. In each case, the x-intercept stays
the same.
