Equation Descriptions (Type, Transformations, Key

Features)
Equation Number 1 The function is linear, where the line is reflected
over the x-axis, and -2 is the slope. This makes
the line decrease to the right. The y-intercept is
(0, -2), which mean the line shifts down two
units.
Equation Number 7 The function is linear, where -2 is the slope. This
line stops before it passes through the y-axis, but
they y-intercept would be (0, -2). The line shifts
over two units to the right.
Equation Number 19 The parabola stretches by 1/8, and the function is
moved 4 to the left, and down 12. The vertex is
at (-4, -12).
Equation Number 23 This parabola stretches by 1/4, and is moved 4 to
the left. It also moves down 9 on the y-axis. The
vertex is at (-4, -9).
Equation Number 31 This line is reflected over the x-axis, and has a
slope of 1. While this line stops before it reaches
the y-axis, the y-intercept would be (0, 14)
Equation number 33 This parabola stretches by 1/8, and reflects over
the x-axis. It moves 4 to the right, and up 12. The
vertex is at (4, 12).
Equation Number 43 This cubic graph moves 20 units to the left. The
changing point is at (-20, 0).
Equation Number 44 In this line, x=-19, there is a vertical line at (-19,
0).
Equation Number 47 This function reflects over the y-axis, and moves
left 20. The changing point is at (-20, 0).
Equation Number 51 This cube root graph moves down 15 on the y-
axis. The changing point is at (0, -15).
Equation Number 54 This function reflects over the y-axis, and moves
down 15 on the y-axis. The changing point is at
(0, 15).
Equation Number 60 Where y=16, there is a horizontal line.
Equation Number 67 This square root graph stretches by 2, and moves
left 13. It’s starting point is at (-13, 0).
Equation Number 68 This graph stretches by 2, and reflects over the x-
axis, and moves left 13. The starting (-13, 0).
Equation Number 69 This graph stretches by 2.8, and moves left 16.
The starting point is at (-16, 0).
While searching for a picture to create, I consulted Google for some cool images that use several types
of graphs. One I came across was a Celtic-looking picture. Originally, the picture was supposed to have
four more curves in the corners of the knot-looking figure, but I tried every type of graph, every kind of
stretch and transformation, and I could Not, for the life of me, figure out how to produce those curves.
In doing this I adjusted how some of my lines overlapped in order to make the image look cleaner.
Writing the equations in Desmos were easy, once I figured out how the program worked and how I
could transform my graphs from their parent functions to make them how I wanted. Two functions were
hard to create because I needed to stretch it. I tried to do so using whole numbers, but that would not
connect the graph to the next function like I needed it to. So, I went to decimals. In experimenting with
the whole numbers, I figured out the stretch had to be between 2 and 3, so I started with decimals in
the tenths place, going from 2 and up. I ended up finding 2.8 for a stretch, which connected the graphs
perfectly for my image. After I figured out all 74 of my functions, printing and coloring was fun. Overall,
the bumps in the road only expanded my knowledge of function transformation, which made this
project all the more beneficial for my learning.
