4-60.

The graph of is shown at right. Below are graphs of and , which are transformations of . Write equations for and in terms of .  

Continuous piecewise labeled, f of x, with 3 linear pieces: starting from left, running horizontal to the point (negative 1, comma negative 2), rising to the point (2, comma 1), then horizontal, continuing to the right.

  1. Continuous piecewise labeled, g of x,  with 3 linear pieces: starting from left, running horizontal to the point (negative 1, comma negative 1), falling to the point (2, comma negative 4), then horizontal, continuing to the right.

    This curve has been vertically reflected.
    A vertical reflection of results in a ray of on the right side. How does that compare to this curve?

  1. Continuous piecewise labeled, h of x,  with 3 linear pieces: starting from left, running horizontal to the point (negative 2, comma negative 2), rising to the point (1, comma 4), then horizontal, continuing to the right.

    This curve has been vertically stretched.
    The "bounds" of are and , so think of the "height" as units.
    How does this compare to the "height" of ?

    If is vertically stretched by a factor of , the point where the curve bends, will end up at . Where is this point on ?
    Add "shifts" to your equation.
