Transformation of Graphs-I

We are going to learn following transformation:

y = f(x)


1. - f(x)


2. f(-x)


3. f(|x|)


4. |f(x)|


5. f(x + a)


6. f(x - a) 


7. f(x) + a


8. f(x) - a


9. f(ax)


10. af(x)


Students are requested to understand these transformations carefully.




1. f(x) \to  - f(x)


Take the symmetry about x-axis and do not consider the original graph.
(As negative value of function become positive and positive values become negative)









2. f(x) \to f( - x)


Take the symmetry about y-axis and do not consider the original graph.
(As value on negative value of 'x' now becomes the value on positive value of 'x' and vice-versa.)



SEE CAREFULLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN f(x) = - [x] and f(x) = [-x]







3. f(x) \to f(|x|)

Do not consider negative x-axis portion of graph and then take the symmetry about y-axis.
(As positive side of x-axis and negative side of x-axis have the same graph)







4. f(x) \to |f(x)|

First take the symmetry about below portion of x-axis graph about x-axis and then do not consider ONLY the below portion of x-axis graph.
(As value of |f(x)| will always be positive and no portion of graph will be below the x-axis)
