Transformations of function f(x)
Type of Transformation Equation Result
Moves the function b units, |b| units
Vertical Translation y=f(x)+b
up (b>0) or down (b<0)
Moves the function a units, |a| units
Horizontal Translation y=f(x−a)
left (a>0) or right (a<0)
Vertical Reflection y=f(-x) Reflects the function over the y-axis
Horizontal Reflection y=-f(x) Reflects the function over the x-axis
■g(x) = f(x-2)
■g(x)= 4f(x)
■g(x) = f(½x)
■g(x) = -f(x)
The point (-12, 4) is on the graph of y =
f(x). Find a point on the graph of y = g(x).
