It contains a number of exercises that look at linear inequalities on a number line, solving linear inequalities, a recap of the equation of a straight line, graphs of quadratic functions, plotting quadratics using a table, translating quadratic graphs. Really clear math lessons prealgebra, algebra, precalculus, cool math games, online graphing calculators, geometry art, fractals, polyhedra, parents and teachers areas too. Transformations of functions, horizontal and vertical reflections. The negative outside the function reflects the graph of the function over a horizontal line because it makes the output value negative if it was positive and positive if it was negative. These functions are y x, y x2, 3, y x, y x and x y 1. Reflecting functions or graphs with worksheets, videos. Stretching, compressing, or reflecting an exponential. That is, if we reflect an even function in the yaxis, it will look exactly like the original.
