Graphing by Transformations
Once we have the basic functions and each graph in our memory, we can easily sketch variations of these. In general,
if we havef(x),andcis some constant value, then the graph off(x−c)is just the graph off(x)shiftedcunits to
the right. Similarly, the graph off(x+c)is just the graph off(x)shiftedcunits to the left.
Example 3:
f(x) =x^2
f(x) = (x− 2 )^2
