STRETCHING AND SHRINKING GRAPHS

LESSON 20
FIRST ACTIVITY CARDS

DO NOW: ONLY OBSERVATIONS

Look at the cards given there should be multiple people with the same cards,
go to your group. Answer the following questions with your peers:

What kind of function do you have?

What is happening to the graphs?

Go to a person from a different group and compare graphs/functions.

 REVIEW: WHAT IS A
FUNCTION?
GO TO PAGE 2 OF
YOUR NOTES! A function is a special relationship
where each input has a single output.
NOTES:

F(X)=4X +3

Find the scalar factor ? YOUR NOTES!
A scalar factor.. is a number which
scales, ormultiplies, some quantity.

In the equation y = Cx, C is

thescalefactor for x.

C is also the coefficient of x, and may

be called the constant of
proportionality of y to x.
NOTES:

F(X)=4X +3

GO TO PAGE 2 OF
What is the parent function ? YOUR NOTES!
Aparent functionis the simplest
function of a family of functions.

For the family of quadratic functions,

y=ax2+bx + c

The simplest function of this form

isy=x2
NOTES:

F(X)=4X +3

GO TO PAGE 3 OF
What transformations have been done ? YOUR NOTES!
Rotation: rotating an object about a fixed
point without changing its size or shape

Translation: moving an object in space without

changing its size, shape or orientation

Dilation: expanding or contracting an object

without changing its shape or orientation

Reflection: flipping an object across a line

without changing its size or shape
NOTES:

ABSOLUTE VALUE, QUADRATIC, SQUARE ROOT AND CUBE ROOT

GO TO PAGE 3/4 OF
YOUR NOTES!
NOTES:

PAGE 4
Function given: f(x)=|x|
Graph: f(x)*3
Function given: f(x)*(1/3)
NOW FOR
EACH OF THE
FUNCTIONS YOU
CREATED PREVIOUSLY
GRAPHED DO THE
SAME CONCEPT.
 WHAT WE DID

CONCEPT
Graph: f(x)=|x| x y x y
Graph: f(x)*3 -2 6 -2 2/3
Graph: f(x)*(1/3) -1 3 -1 1/3
0 0 0 0
1 3 1 1/3
2 6 2 2/3

YOU CAN ALSO DO THIS ON YOUR CALCULATORS.

1. GO TO Y= ENTER ABS(X) ENTER ABS(X) * 3 ENTER ABS(X)(1/3)

2. 2ND GRAPH
 GAME TIME

ITS TIME TO CREATE YOUR ITS TIME TO CREATE YOUR

VERY OWN FUNCTION VERY OWN FUNCTION
AND SHRINK IT BY 3 AND STRETCH IT BY 3
UNITS. UNITS.
Independently, for the next 10 minutes follow the instructions above.
The first three people win 10 extra points on their exit ticket.
FOR YOUR EXIT TICKET GO BACK TO YOUR CARD AND WRITE A
SMALL SUMMARY OF THE STRETCHING OR SHRINKING OF THE
GRAPH FROM THE PARENT FUNCTION. IF YOU ARE THE PARENT
FUNCTION,MAKE YOUR GRAPH STRETCH OR SHRINK. EXPLAIN
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE FUNCTION THE GRAPH BY USING
WHAT WE COVERED IN CLASS.
