Write a function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of f.  f(x) = 3x; translation 5 units up

g(x) = 3x + 5

200

What do you call the perimeter of a circle?

Its Circumference 

300

Identify the function family to which g belongs.  Compare the graph of g to the graph of its parent function.  g(x) = x + 2

Linear; The graph is translated up 2 units of the graph of its parent function.

300

Reflection in the x - axis.  What are the reflected points for (-2,0) and (0,2)?

(-2,0) and (0,-2)

What does “m” represent relating to slope-intercept form?

Slope

300

What sports does Coach Horton coach? 

Softball and basketball

Graph g(x) = 3x2 and its parent function. Then describe the transformation. 

The graph of g(x) = 3x2 is a vertical stretch of the graph of the parent quadratic function by a factor of 3. 

400

Write a function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of f.  f(x) = - |x + 2| - 1; reflection in the x-axis

g(x) = | x + 2 | + 1

400

What does “b” represent relating to slope-intercept form?

Y-intercept 

400

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction 

500

Graph g(x) = |x + 1| and its parent function.  Then describe the transformation.

The graph of g(x) = |x + 1| is a horizontal translation 1 unit left of the graph of the parent absolute value function. 

500

Let f(x) = 4x - 9.  Write a function g whose graph is a translation 5 units up of the graph of f.

The translated function is g(x) = 4x - 4
