Shifting graphs

Summary

  • The graph of f(x)+c is the graph of f(x) moved c units upwards (downwards if c<0 )
  • The graph of f(x+c) is the graph of f(x) moved c units to the left (to the right if c<0 )
  • The graph of cf(x) is the graph of f(x) stretched vertically (stretched vertically and reflected about the x -axis if c<0 )
  • The graph of f(x) is the graph of f(x) reflected about the y -axis.
