4 (part 3) Reflections and Dilations of Parent Functions Name_____________________

1. Use the graphs below to answer the question. The graph of y f ( x) has been transformed to produce the
1
graph of y f x .

a. Circle the type of dilation that describes this

transformation:

Vertical Stretch Horizontal Stretch

Vertical Shrink Horizontal Shrink

b. Circle the factor used to create this dilation:

1
or 2

#2 5, Graph each equation by HAND. (WITHOUT YOUR GRAPHING CALCULATOR). Then describe the
transformation from its parent function. Then state the Domain and Range.

6. Given the function f(x) = x2, write the function whose graph of f(x) is:

A. shifted 6 units to the left ____________________________

B. reflected about the y-axis ____________________________

C. reflected about the x-axis ____________________________

D. shifted 5 units up ____________________________

E. vertically stretched by a factor of 4 ____________________________

F. horizontally stretched (compressed) by a factor of 1/3 ____________________________

7. For each of the following functions, list the parent function and then describe the
reflections, translations, and dilations to transform the parent function into the given
function. Then state the domain and range of the given function.
