y = 9 - x2 y = 2(9 - x2) f(x) 2f(x) (2 , 5) (2 , 10) Each point twice as far along y. Stretches in the y-axis • If we have the function y = f(x) then: • y = af(x) is a stretch by a factor a in the y-axis:
f(x) f(2x) (3 , 0) (1.5 , 0) (2 , 5) (1 , 5) Stretches in the x-axis • If we have the function y = f(x) then: • y = f(ax) is a stretch by a factor1/ain the x-axis: y = 9 - x2 y = 9 – (2x)2 Each point 1/2 as far along x.

Quadratic Functions • When examining a quadratic for the transformations from y = x2 • Complete the square to get the quadratic into the form y = n(x - a)2 + b • Think about the series of transformations from that…
Quadratics Example… • y = -4x2 + 8x + 3 • = -4(x2 – 2x) + 3 [ Factorise the 4 ] • = -4[ (x – 1)2-1 ] + 3 [Complete the sq] • = -4(x – 1)2 + 7 [ (-4 x -1) + 3 = 7]
Quadratic Example • y = -4x2 + 8x + 3 = -4(x – 1)2 + 7 y = x2 y = (x – 1)2 y = 4(x – 1)2
Quadratic Example • y = -4x2 + 8x + 3 = -4(x – 1)2 + 7 y = 4(x – 1)2 y = - 4(x – 1)2 y = - 4(x – 1)2 + 7 Line of symmetry: x = 1, max at +7, intercept: +3
