lemme post a quick template of some help


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{function transformations} \\\\\\ % templates f(x)= A( Bx+ C)+ D \\\\ ~~~~y= A( Bx+ C)+ D \\\\ f(x)= A√( Bx+ C)+ D \\\\ f(x)= A(\mathbb{R})^( Bx+ C)+ D \\\\ f(x)= A sin\left( B x+ C \right)+ D \\\\ --------------------


\bf \bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } A\cdot B\\\\ \bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if } A\textit{ is negative}\\ ~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the x-axis} \\\\ \bullet \textit{ flips it sideways if } B\textit{ is negative}


\bf ~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the y-axis} \\\\ \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }( C)/( B)\\ ~~~~~~if\ ( C)/( B)\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\ ~~~~~~if\ ( C)/( B)\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\ \bullet \textit{ vertical shift by } D\\ ~~~~~~if\ D\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\ ~~~~~~if\ D\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\ \bullet \textit{ period of }(2\pi )/( B)



so f(x) - k, is simply appending a constant "k", and thus is a vertical shift by k units.

f(x+h) is changing whatever "x" was to "x+h", and therefore is shifting the function to the left by h units.

f(x-h), is about the same as before, but is doing a horizontal shift to the right by h units.
