Reflecting Graphs
Example #1: Use the graph of y=2x to graph the functions y=−2x and y=2−x .
Solution:
Some y-values are shown on the following table.
The y-coordinate of each point on the graph of y=– 2x the negative of the y-coordinate of the graph of y=2x .
Thus, the graph of y=– 2x is the reflection of the graph of y=2x about the x-axis.
The value of y=2−x at x is the same as the value of y=2x at – x. Thus, the graph of y=2−x is the reflection of the
graph of y=2x about the y-axis.
Example #2:
Use the graph of y=2x to graph the functions y=3 (2x ) and y=0.4(2 x ).
Solution:
Some y-values are shown on the following table.
The y-coordinate of each point on the graph of y=3 (2x ) is 3 times the y-coordinate of each point on y=2x .
Similarly, the y-coordinate of each point on the graph of y=0.4 ( 2 x ) is 0.4 times the y-coordinate of each point
on y=2x .
Observations:
1. The domain for all three graphs is the set of all real numbers.
2. The y-intercepts were also multiplied correspondingly. The y-intercept of y=3 (2x ) is 3, and the y-
intercept of y=0.4 ( 2 x ) is 0.4.
3. All three graphs have the same horizontal asymptote: y=0.
4. The range of all three graphs is the set of all y >0.
Example #3:
Use the graph of y=2x to graph y=2x – 3 and y=2x +1.
Solution:
Some y-values are shown on the following table:
Example #4:
Use the graph of y=2x to graph y=2x−2and y=2x+ 4.
Solution.
Some y-values are shown on the following table.
Observations:
The domain for all three graphs is the set of all real numbers.
The y-intercepts changed. To find them, substitute x=0 in the function. Thus, the y-intercept of
y=2x+ 4 is 24 =16 and the y-intercept of y=2x−2 is 2 – 2=.25.
The horizontal asymptotes of all three graphs are the same ( y=0). Translating a graph horizontally does not
change the horizontal asymptote.
The range of all three graphs is the set of all y >0 .
1. Sketch the graph of F (x)=3 x+1 – 2, then state the domain, range, y-intercept, and horizontal asymptote.
Solution:
Transformation:
The base function f (x)=3x will be shifted 1 unit to the left and 2 units down
