System of Equations and Matrices 3 Matrix Row Operations: MATH 41-PreCalculus Switch any two rows. Multiply any row by a nonzero constant. Add any constant-multiple row to another Even and Odd functions Even function: f( x) = f(x) Odd function: f( x) = f(x) Graph Symmetry x-axis symmetry: if (x, y) is on the graph, then (x, y) is also on the graph y-axis symmetry: if (x, y) is on the graph, then ( x, y) is also on the graph origin symmetry: if (x, y)f is on the graph, then ( x, y) is also on the graph Function Transformations Stretch and Compress y = af(x), a > 0 vertical: stretch f(x) if a > 1 Reflections y = f(x) reflect f(x) about x-axis y = f( x) reflect f(x) about y-axis Stretch and Compress y = af(x), a > 0 vertical: stretch f(x) if a > 1 : compress f(x) if 0 < a < 1 y = f(ax), a > 0 horizontal: stretch f(x) if 0 < a < 1 : compress f(x) if a > 1 Shifts y = f(x) + k, k > 0 vertical: shift f(x) up y = f(x) k, k > 0 : shift f(x) down y = f(x + h) h > 0 horizontal: shift f(x) left y = f(x h), h > 0 : shift f(x) right Auth:C.Villarreal-Prof. CBC 015Spring
