OrS 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. 1. RIGID TRANSFORMATIONS. A.
