Sample Flashcards

f(x + a) vs f(x) + a
f(x + a) = LEFT by a (inside, opposite). f(x) + a = UP by a (outside, same direction)

Sample Questions

The graph of y = f(x) is transformed to y = f(x) + 3. Which of the following describes this transformation?

  • A. Translation 3 units to the right
  • B. Translation 3 units upwards
  • C. Stretch by scale factor 3 parallel to the y-axis
  • D. Translation 3 units to the left
