8. TRANSFORMATIONS: Make a statement that best describes the effects of the graph f(x) = √x when it is replaced by 0.2 f(x-7) ?

Answer 1

Whatever is grouped with the "x" moves the graph left/right but it reads opposite the way it really moves. So the "x - 7" means that the graph of f(x) is moved RIGHT 7 units.

Whatever the multiplier is to f(x) is the vertical stretch factor (stretch if the multiplier is greater than 1 and compression if the multiplier is between zero and 1). So the 0.2 means that the graph of f(x) is compressed by a factor of 0.2
