Vertical Shifts y = f(x) + k Graph is shifted k units up if k > 0 and k
units down if k< 0
Horizontal Shifts y = f(x – h) Graph is shifted h units right if h > 0 and
h units left if h < 0.
Stretching y = a* f(x) Graph is vertically stretched using a
factor of |a| if |a|> 1.

Compressing y = a* f(x) Graph is vertically stretched using a
factor of |a| if |a|< 1.
Reflections x-axis y = -f(x) Graph is reflected across the x-axis.
Reflection y-axis Y = f(-x) Graph is reflected across the y-axis.
ExampleUse the function to answer the following questions.
a. The graph of this function is a shift graph of which basic function?
b. Describe the transformations used to obtain the graph of the function.
c. Sketch a graph of the function.

Respect to y-axis f(-x) = f(x) If every point (x, y) on the graph, the point (-x , y) is also on the graph. Such a function is called an EVEN FUNCTION.
Respect to the origin f(-x) = -f(x) If every point (x, y) on the graph, the point (-x , -y) is also on the graph. Such a function is called an ODD FUNCTION.
Respect to x-axis If every point (x, y) on the graph, the point (x , - y) is also on the graph.
ExamplesDetermine algebraically whether the graph of the given equation is symmetric with respect to x-axis, y-axis and/or the origin. Is the function even, odd or neither? Confirm graphically.
