questions and answers
2025(passed)
transformations - answer operations that alter the shape of a
function (shift, reflection, stretch, compression)
translation - answer a figure (on a coordinate plane) is picked up
and moved to another location without any change in size, shape, or
orientation
vertical shift - answer a figure is moved up/down through addition
and subtraction in the output of the parent function
horizontal shift - answer a figure is moved left/right through
subtraction and addition in the input of the parent function
vertical reflection - answer a figure is mirrored across the x-axis
through multiplication of -1 in the output of the parent function
horizontal reflection - answer a figure is mirrored across the y-axis
through multiplication of -1 in the input of the parent function
dilation - answer a figure's size is altered causing it to become
stretched or compressed
