Chapter 19 Proportions and graphs
19.7 Reflecting and Stretching Graphs of Functions
A function can be reflected about an axis by multiplying by negative one. To reflect about the y-axis, multiply every x by -1 to get -x. To reflect about the x-axis, multiply f(x) by -1 to get -f(x). In this section, we learn about sketch a function and then use a translation on it, transforming trigonometric graphs, transform cosine function by simple stretches (Reflection).
If you're a student in a school/college that's based in England, you might be entitled for full access to our eLearning platform where you can access to all our tutorial videos and practice questions.
Please check with the head of Maths or deputy headteacher at your school/college to request access if they've already registered to our free pilot subscription. They can always reach us at the below email:

Understanding the effect stretching a curve parallel to one of the axes has on its function form. Understanding the effect reflecting a curve in one of the axes has on its function form.
