Transformations

Compare and contrast the transformations for each

pair of functions below by completing the chart.
How are the
transformations
the same?

How are the

transformations
different?

f(x) = |x| + 4 and

g(x) = |x + 4|
f(x) = (3x)2 and
g(x) = 3x2

f(x) = |x| and

g(x) = |x|

Helping You Remember

Describe how grouping symbols affect

translations and reflections.
