QuestionExplain how the function transforms from its parent function. (10 points)
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The given function is
. The parent function is
3. We are to describe the transformation of the given function from its parent function
STEP 2
The general form of a transformed absolute value function is . Here, affects the vertical stretch or compression and reflection, affects the horizontal stretch or compression and reflection, affects the horizontal shift, and affects the vertical shift.
STEP 3
In the given function , we can see that , , , and .
STEP 4
The value of indicates a vertical stretch by a factor of2. This means the graph of the function is stretched vertically by a factor of2 compared to the parent function.
STEP 5
The value of indicates no horizontal stretch or compression or reflection. This means the graph of the function remains the same horizontally as the parent function.
STEP 6
The value of indicates a horizontal shift to the left by3 units. This means the graph of the function is shifted3 units to the left compared to the parent function.
STEP 7
The value of indicates no vertical shift. This means the graph of the function remains the same vertically as the parent function.
In conclusion, the transformation of the function from its parent function is a vertical stretch by a factor of2 and a horizontal shift to the left by3 units.
