Math 1050 GRAPHING TRANSFORMATIONS LAB |
‘The purpose of this lab is to investigate both rigid (shape preserving) and non-rigid (shape
changing) function transformations. Rigid Transformations include translations (shifting) and
reflections, Non-rigid Transformations include scaling (dilations and compressions).
Use of a graphing calculator or a computer with graphing software is recommended for this lab.
Directions for using Maple V, Release 5, are available on the web site. If using a calculator,
either see owner's manual for guidance or ask for assistance in the Math Lab.
