2) Describe the transformations to the parent function 𝑓 𝑥 = ! in order, make a table of values of image points,
write the equation of the transformed function and graph it.
!
a) 𝑔 𝑥 = 𝑓[! 𝑥 + 1 ] b) 𝑔 𝑥 = 2𝑓(−𝑥)
c) 𝑔 𝑥 = −𝑓[−2 𝑥 − 0.5 ] + 1
3) Use the description to write the transformed function, g(x).
! 1
a) The parent function, 𝑓 𝑥 = !, is compressed vertically by a factor of and then translated (shifted) 3 units

left.

b) The parent function, 𝑓 𝑥 = ! , is reflected over the x-axis, stretch horizontally by a factor of 3 and then
translated 1 unit left and 4 units down.
