FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a vertical translation in a function?
Back
A vertical translation occurs when a function is shifted up or down on the graph. This is represented by adding or subtracting a constant to the function's output.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the equation y = x^2 + 3 represent a vertical translation?
Back
This equation represents a vertical translation of the parent function y = x^2, shifted up 3 units.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a horizontal translation in a function?
Back
A horizontal translation occurs when a function is shifted left or right on the graph. This is represented by adding or subtracting a constant to the function's input.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the equation y = (x - 4)^2 represent a horizontal translation?
Back
This equation represents a horizontal translation of the parent function y = x^2, shifted right 4 units.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the graph of f(x) = x^2 when we change it to g(x) = x^2 - 2?
Back
The graph of f(x) = x^2 shifts down 2 units to become g(x) = x^2 - 2.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If f(x) = x^2, what is the equation for a graph that shifts up 5 units?
Back
The equation would be g(x) = x^2 + 5.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the equation g(x) = 7(x + 3) represent in terms of translation?
Back
This equation represents a horizontal translation of the parent function f(x) = 7x, shifted left 3 units.
