Lesson Summary

In this lesson, we learned to graph functions that are transformations of . We learned that the transformations work just like other functions with horizontal shifts associated with the inputs to the function and the vertical effects associated with the outputs. Using these ideas, we also wrote equations to correspond with graphs and generalized each part of the equation in the form: .
