3 Stretches
Once again – let’s first look back where we’ve been….
$ #2
First, we saw how translations occur when we add (or subtract) numbers.

For example, a function $ # 2 can be

transformed to $ # 3 2 2

Here we subtract 3 from And we subtract 2 from *

2 units Graph horizontally And vertically

translates 3 units right translates 2 units up
3 units (opposite direction of the sign) (same direction* of the sign)

Another way we can look at this is to apply replacements:

 To horizontally translate the graph 3  To vertically translate the graph 2

units right, replace “#” with “# 3” units up, replace “$” with “$ 2”
2
So, becomes $ 2 # 3 Simplifies to

When we think of vertical translations this way, we can treat it “the same” as horizontal!
*That is, the opposite direction of the sign in the equation: $ ( # → / % .

We can similarly think of reflections with replacements.

2 horiz. reflection $ # 4 2
For example, given the graph of $ # 4 …

 To horizontally reflect,  To vertically reflect,

replace “#” with “ #” replace“$” with “ $” vertical
reflection

We can optionally simplify to: Now divide both sides by 1

2 to isolate “$”!
$ 1 # 4
2 2 2
$ 1 # 4  $ # 4
2
 $ # 4

%
Replacing “$” with “ $” is identical to “making the entire right side negative”
$ ( # $ ( #

 Vertical reflection about the #-axis %

And replacing “$” with “$ 5” is identical to “adding 5 to the function” %

$ 5 ( # $ ( # 5

 Vertical translation 5 units 5 units

- up, if 5 6 0 - down, if 5 7 0

1.3 Stretches

In the transformation $ ( # →$ 0( I#

The vertical stretch is “-” The horizontal stretch is “ /J”

(straightforward!) (reciprocal!)
Another way to look at this is to treat both the vertical and horizontal stretches the same.
So if, for example, a function $ ( # is horizontally stretched by a factor of 3 and vertically
stretched as a factor of 4, we “could” ....

1
 Replace # with #
3
$ ( # So here both the horizontal and vertical
1 stretches are reciprocals in the equation
and, similarly…  Replace $ with $
4
Note that this can be simplified to:
Which is how we would
$ ( #
“normally” view this!
