How do horizontal and vertical transformations affect each other?
Horizontal and vertical transformations?are?independent?of each other
The horizontal transformations involved will need to be applied in their correct order
The vertical transformations involved will need to be applied in their correct order
Suppose there are?two horizontal?transformation?H1?then?H2?and?two vertical?transformations?V1?then V2?then?they can be applied in the following orders:
?Horizontal then vertical:
H1?H2?V1?V2
Vertical then horizontal:
V1?V2?H1?H2
Mixed up (provided that?H1?comes before H2?and?V1?comes before V2):
H1?V1?H2?V2
H1?V1?V2?H2
V1?H1?V2?H2
V1?H1?H2?V2
Exam Tip
In an exam you are more likely to get the correct solution if you deal with one transformation at a time and sketch the graph after each transformation
Worked Example
Composite Vertical Transformations af(x)+b
How do I deal with multiple vertical transformations?
Order matters?when you have?more than one vertical transformations
If you are asked to find the equation then?build up the equation?by looking at the transformations in order
Worked Example
Composite Horizontal Transformations f(ax+b)
How do I deal with multiple horizontal transformations?
Order matters?when you have?more than one horizontal transformations
If you are asked to find the equation then?build up the equation?by looking at the transformations in order
If?a?is negative then the?reflection and stretch?can be?done in any order
