Transformations of Functions

Red graph Black graph

y=f(x)+3 y=f(x)-2 y=f(x+3) y=f(x-1)
y=2f(x) y=½f(x) y=f(2x) y=f(½x)
y=-f(x) y=f(-x) y=3f(x+2) y=-f(3x)
y=2f(x-3) y=-f(x+3)-2 y=3f(x-2)+1 y=f(2x+1)

 

Instructions

Choose a transformation by clicking one of the buttons above. You can then sketch using your mouse (or finger/stylus if using a touch-sensitive screen) what you think the transformed graph will look like. Click the 'Show transformation' to see how close your sketch is to the computer generated version.
