  1. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Vertical Shifting of the Graph of a Function If c > 0, then the graph of y = f(x) + c is obtained by shifting the graph of y = f(x) upward a distance of c units. The graph of y = f(x) – c is obtained by shifting the graph of y = f(x) downward a distance of c units.

  2. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Horizontal Shifting of the Graph of a Function If c > 0, the graph of y = f(x – c) is obtained by shifting the graph of y = f(x)to the right a distance of c units. If c > 0, the graph of y = f(x + c) is obtained by shifting the graph ofy = f(x) to the left a distance of c units.

  3. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Vertical and Horizontal Shifts Describe how the graph of y = |x + 2| − 6 would be obtained by translating the graph of y = |x|. Horizontal shift: 2 units left Vertical shift: 6 units down

  4. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Write the equation of each graph using the appropriate transformations.

  5. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Vertical Stretching and Shrinking of the Graph of a Function If c > 1, then the graph of y = cf(x) is a vertical stretching of the graph of y = f(x) by applying a factor of c. If 0 < c < 1, then the graph of y = cf(x) is a vertical shrinking of the graph of y = f(x) by applying a factor of c. If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of y = f(x) then the point (x, cy) lies on the graph of y = cf(x).

  6. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Horizontal Stretching and Shrinking of the Graph of a Function (a) If c > 1, then the graph of y = ƒ(cx) is a horizontal shrinking of the graph of y = ƒ(x). (b) If 0 < c < 1, then the graph of y = ƒ(cx) is a horizontal stretching of the graph of y = ƒ(x). If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of y = ƒ(x), then the point (x/c, y) lies on the graph of y = ƒ(cx).

  7. 2.6 – Transformations of Graphs Reflections Across the x and y Axes For a function, y = f(x), the following are true. (a) the graph of y = –f(x) is a reflection of the graph of f across the x-axis. (b) the graph of y = f(– x) is a reflection of the graph of f across the y-axis.
