Functions and Graph Transformations << Return to Index
General Tips:
1. When asked to sketch a transformed graph, e.g. f(x + 3), pick key points on
the original graph to transform first (e.g. ones that go exactly through grid
points, or y-intercepts, etc.) then join up with a line. This will ensure you
draw it accurately.
2. Remember that changes inside the function brackets affect the x-axis and do
the opposite of what you expect.
3. Learn the shape of y = sin(x), y = cos(x) and y = tan(x). In particular, learn
that coordinates for which the graphs cross the x-axis, and the
maximum/minimum points.
