Describe the transformation expressed by 

f(x) - 9

Translated 9 units to the down. 

100

Express g in terms of f if the graph of f is translated 5 unit up

g(x) = f(x) + 5

100

Does f(x) represent the input or the output?

The output of function f

100

A graph is even when

It is symmetrical over the y-axis/a reflection over the y axis produces the same the graph

100

Shifting the graph is referred to as a

Translation, Translating

200

Describe the transformation expressed by 

f(x -3)

Translated 3 units to the right

200

Express g in terms of f if the graph of f is translated 8 unit left

g(x) = f(x+8)

200

How does scaling the inputs of a function by 4 transform its graph? 

It would compress it horizontally by a factor of 1/4. 

200

Is this graph even, odd, or neither?

This graph is neither. 

200

Mirroring the graph over an axis is referred to as

Reflection, Reflecting

300

Describe the transformation expressed by f(x+5)+7

Translated 5 units to the left and 7 unit up.

300

Express g in terms of f if the graph of f is translated 4 unit down and 1 unit right

g(x) = f(x-1) -4

300

If f(t) represents the height on a Ferris wheel, and a different wheel can be modeled by h(t) = 6f(3t). 

How does the height and speed of the spinning wheel modeled by function h compare to the wheel for f?

Wheel h is 6 times taller and spins 3 times faster than f. 

300

What is true about the inputs and outputs of odd functions

Opposite inputs Produce opposite outputs

f(x) = -f(-x)

300

Scaling a function horizontally changes the 

Inputs

400

Describe the transformation expressed by 

-f(-x+7)

Translated 7 units to the left and reflected over both axes.

400

Express g in terms of f if the graph of f is translated 2 unit up and 3 unit right, then reflected over the x axis.

g(x) = -f(x-3) + 2

400

True or false: all transformations keep the original size and shape of the function

False. When we scale the inputs or outputs, it changes the size or shape

400

Which of these graphs is odd

none, they are all even

400

Scaling the function vertically changes the_______. The types are  __________ or  ____________

Outputs, Compress/Squashed or Stretched

500

Describe the following transformation expressed by

f(-5x-3)+9

The graph of f is translated right 3 units and up 9 units, reflected over the y-axis and compressed horizontally by a factor of 1/5

500

Express g in terms of f if the graph of f is translated 10 units down and 6 units left, reflected over the x-axis and stretched vertically by a factor of 3. 

g(x) = -3f(x + 6) - 10

500

A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch.
The bridge has a span of 50 meters and a maximum height of 40 meters. How do you modify f(x)=x(50-x) so it models the height of the bridge?

 

f(x) = (40/625)x(50 - x)

500

Function f has the following points (-1, 2), (0,0), (1,4) is the function even odd or neither?

The function is neither. 

If it was odd then it would have the points              (-1, 2) and (1, -2) or (1, 4) and (-1, -4).

If it was even then it would have the points            (-1, 2) and (1, 2) or (1, 4) and (-1, 4).

500

m(x)=-m(-x) is true when the function is ________

odd
