Welcome & First Discussion Question

ASA Class!

Our start was a bit rocky, but In'shallah the class will pick up with full speed! I will use this blog to post daily discussion questions, reminders, helpful videos, homework hints and much more! You all should check the blog daily for new information and helpful homework links. I'm excited for our full math day on Friday! If you have any questions leave a comment below!

Below is a video of transformations! Watch!

  1. A transformation tells us that the graph is either going to move to the left, right, up or down, depending on the equation given.

    2. ummmm....Auset she said we had to answer the question in paragraph form, 5 sentences.....just a reminder in case you forgot and I don't want you to get it wrong for no reason because, you did answer it now you just have to expand on it. XD !!!

  2. A transformation is when a figure moves across the x or y axis on a grid. A tranformation will tell us what function we used to create the figure on the graph. You can tell alot about a graph by its transformation. Like, if it had a horizontal compression and you would tell beacause the figure on the graph would decrease in size. Our transformations will also tell us is we plugged the numbers in right by looking at the figure and comparing it to a Parent Function.

  3. A transformation is an easier way of moving your graph. It tells what direction the graph has been moved in and by the number of units. Right, left, down, and up a transformations tells everything. Transformation can also help you find the preimage and image of a graph's points. In this video it showed and gave examples of how to use different types of transformations

  4. A
    transformation is a when a figure oves either the x axis or y axis. It also can be used on a graph once you do the points, one thing it is depending on the equation

  5. A transformation tells us that the graph is either going to move to the left, right, up or down, depending on the equation given. If yu have to subtract a number from x you have to move the points to the left, not the right. And Vise versa. The process is backwards so what goes left goes right. and what goes right goes left. For example if a graph had the equation of f(x)=x-3. The points that you get from this equation would have to be moved to the right 3 points over, according to the video above. (thank you destiny for that correction)

  6. a Transformation is when a graph moves left or right depending on if the number is negative or positive.It also says the number of units.It is the key and success to getting the pre-and new image to your graph.also helps you connect the graph and put the right points

  7. A transformation changes a graph's size, shape, position, or orientation. In graph of the function g(x)= (x+C)^2 , you can move the graph to the left or to the right by adding a number to the x. If C > 0 then x will shift up to the left, if C is > 0 then x will shift to the right. Imagine if I were going to acquire 1 million dollars when my is equal to 25. If I change hat to (age+4)=25 then I would get it when I am 21. Adding 4 made it happen earlier. So by saying that, what a transformation tells you about a graph is that it allows you to see things that can happen in the future or things could have already happened in the past. A transformation of a graph allows you to see an image of a pre-image. The transformation on a graph describes to you what parent function it might represent.

    2. I'm really sorry for this third time. My final answer to the question is right here -----> My apologies my final answer to the question is ----> A transformation changes a graph's size, shape, position, or orientation.

Imagine if I were going to acquire 1 million dollars when my age is equal to 25(age=25). If I change hat to (age+4)=25 then I would get it when I am 21. Adding 4 made it happen earlier.

  8. A transformation is the change in the y axis or the x axis. the pre-image shows the original function before x or y has been changed. the image is the final product that shows the transformation in y or x.the objective of the transformation is to show how y or x has been changed from its original function. For instance the quadratic functions (f(x)=x2) might be changed or added to like g(x)=(x+1)2 the transformation would be x is moving to the right 1.That help tells how was the function different from the original one.

  9. Transformations are a more simple process to move a graph. A transformation tells you which direction the graph is going to move. It tells weather the graph is to move up, down, left, or right depending on the positive or negative unit. Transformations also allow you to find the image and preimage of a graph's points.

  10. A transformation is a set of a algebraic set used to express the relations of elements.Its also an easy way to tell if the X axis or the Y axis is gonna change.The pre-image is what the function looks like before it is flipped into the image on the graph.A function is expressing a relation between the angles of a triangles and its sides.

  11. Thank you all for your comments! Hope this helped you understand transformations better!
