Exercise 1.3.3

The graph of y = f ( x ) is given. Match each equation with its graph and give reasons for your choices.

Answers

(a)
The only graph that shows movement to the right is the third one. Indeed, graph (3) has shifted four units to the right.
(b)
By shifting the graph of the function f upwards by three units, we obtain the graph (1) that represents the function in (b).
(c)
The graph of 1 3 f ( x ) is the graph of f that is shrunken vertically by a factor of 3 . Thus, the graph (4) illustrates the graph in (c).
(d)
To graph f ( x + 4 ) , we need to shift the graph of f to the right by four units and then reflect it about the x -axis. The graph that represents these movements is the fifth graph.
(e)
To get the graph of 2 f ( x + 6 ) , first of all, we must shift the graph of f to the right by six units. After we get the graph of f ( x + 6 ) , we must stretch it by a factor of 2 . The graph that represents such movements is the second graph.
