Transformations of Graphs - Translations, Reflections and Scalings of Graphs

Transformations of Graphs - Translations, Reflections and Scalings of Graphs

Find and simplify the equation of the graph obtained when

  1. the graph of \(y = 2x + 4\) is translated by \(3\) units in the positive \(y\)-direction, parallel to the \(y\)-axis,
  2. the graph of \(y = 4 - x^2\) is scaled by a factor of \(2\) parallel to the \(y\)-axis,
  3. the graph of \(y = e^{-2x}\) is translated by \(4\) units in the negative \(x\)-direction, parallel to the \(x\)-axis,
  4. the graph of \(y = \lg\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) is reflected in the \(x\)-axis.
