Shifting a Graph of a Function A common way to obtain a new funetion from an existing one is by adding a constant g each output ofthe existing function, oro its input variable. The graph ofthe new function is the graph of the original function shifted vertically or horizontally, as follows. Shift Formulas Vertical Shits vase) +k Shifts the graph of f up k units if k > 0 Shifts it down |x| units if k <0 Horizontal Shits ya fet hy Shifts the graph of f left h units if h > 0 Shifts it right |h| units if he < 0 EXAMPLE 3 (a) Adding 1 to the right-hand side of the formula y raph up 1 unit (Figure 1.29). (b) Adding ~2 to the right-hand side of the formula y = x? to get graph down 2 units (Figure 1.29). (©) Adding 3 toxin y = x? to get y = (x + 3)? shifts the graph 3 units to the left (Figure 1330) (@) Adding -2 (0.x in y = |x|, and then adding —1 to the result, gives y = |x — 2] -1 and shifts the graph 2 units to the right and | unit down (Figure 1.31). ' 2 + 1 shifts the x? to get y — 2 shifts the Scaling and Reflecting a Graph of a Function To scale the graph of a function y = f(x) is to stretch or compress it, vertically or hot zontally.
