Hi Stephen.

Which of the following statements about the function y is not true?

y= af(k(x-d))ⁿ+c

This is TRANSFORMATIONS OF A POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION

You can look up info about this online also to get more of an explanation.

a = vertical stretch or compression

k = horizontal stretch or compression

d = horizontal translation left or right

c = vertical translation up or down

Given the info above. Which below do you think is not correct.

a) the value of a represents a vertical stretch/compressions

b) the value of c represents a vertical translation

c) the value of k represents the max or min of a function

d) the value of d represents a horizontal translation

c) incorrect

Hope this helps!

Let me know if you have more questions.
