1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,262 Okay, in this video, I just wanna finish off kind of the general vertical and 2 00:00:04,262 --> 00:00:06,567 horizontal stretching and reflecting. 3 00:00:06,567 --> 00:00:09,981 In this one, I'm gonna talk about reflecting, and 4 00:00:09,981 --> 00:00:13,795 so what we're gonna look at are conditions 5 and 6 here. 5 00:00:13,795 --> 00:00:18,611 The idea is, if you basically plug a big O negative sign out in front of 6 00:00:18,611 --> 00:00:23,278 your formula, it's gonna reflect your graph about the x-axis. 7 00:00:23,278 --> 00:00:28,697 If you replace all of your x's with -x's, so, you kinda change, well, 8 00:00:28,697 --> 00:00:34,307 not necessarily change the sign, you're gonna reflect about the y-axis. 9 00:00:34,307 --> 00:00:37,890 So kind of generally, again. 10 00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:41,501 So this will be probably the easiest of all of them, kind of a general, 11 00:00:41,501 --> 00:00:43,042 just again, a general idea. 12 00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:46,485 Again, if the negatives on the outside, it flips it about the x-axis. 13 00:00:46,485 --> 00:00:49,046 And if you think about it, I mean, that really makes sense. 14 00:00:49,046 --> 00:00:50,667 I mean, what's gonna happen? 15 00:00:50,667 --> 00:00:54,200 You plug x in, you get some y value out. 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,438 That's what f(x) is, okay? 17 00:00:56,438 --> 00:00:58,836 So suppose it was positive originally. 18 00:00:58,836 --> 00:01:01,474 Well, if you plug a negative out front, what's it gonna do? 19 00:01:01,474 --> 00:01:04,823 It's going to change the sign and reflect it down to the other side. 20 00:01:04,823 --> 00:01:07,088 So, really that's what it's doing. 21 00:01:07,088 --> 00:01:12,025 The negative out front changes the sign on all the y values, 22 00:01:12,025 --> 00:01:16,985 and that has the effect of reflecting it about the x-axis. 23 00:01:16,985 --> 00:01:18,983 Likewise, if it's on the inside. 24 00:01:18,983 --> 00:01:22,744 [COUGH] You reflect the graph about the y-axis. 25 00:01:22,744 --> 00:01:27,955 And now, the idea is, whatever you plugged in for 2 originally, 26 00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:31,956 you're gonna get that same output at now -2, and 27 00:01:31,956 --> 00:01:36,999 that's gonna have the effect of shifting it about the y-axis. 28 00:01:36,999 --> 00:01:38,479 So just a quick little graph. 29 00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:42,413 Let's graph, y equals negative f(x), here real quick. 30 00:01:47,635 --> 00:01:53,024 So again, all it does is, it kinda preserves its sort of general shape. 31 00:01:53,024 --> 00:01:56,084 All that happens is, again, you're just flipping it. 32 00:01:56,084 --> 00:01:59,727 So instead of this first little salt used part. 33 00:01:59,727 --> 00:02:08,149 It's now instead of going up, it's gonna go down To -2.. 34 00:02:08,149 --> 00:02:11,155 So there's the original part that was up is now down. 35 00:02:11,155 --> 00:02:17,855 This original part that was down, will now go up, okay? 36 00:02:17,855 --> 00:02:20,640 So again, a very loose graph on these two. 37 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:25,277 And instead of being down here at (-1,2), again, 38 00:02:25,277 --> 00:02:29,912 now if that point flips, it's gonna be up here +1, and 39 00:02:29,912 --> 00:02:33,408 it will extend over a distance of 2 units. 40 00:02:33,408 --> 00:02:39,141 And then if this portion down here that was at (2,-2) 41 00:02:39,141 --> 00:02:44,172 we will now flip up to the top, and be up here at 2 and 42 00:02:44,172 --> 00:02:48,384 it'll extend over a distance of 4 units. 43 00:02:48,384 --> 00:02:52,203 Okay, so that's the graph of y equals negative f of x. 44 00:02:52,203 --> 00:02:56,654 Again, all it does is, stuff that was above the x-axis 45 00:02:56,654 --> 00:03:01,209 gets flipped below on the x-axis and vice versa, okay? 46 00:03:01,209 --> 00:03:07,230 So, Let's do the other one here real quick. 47 00:03:12,823 --> 00:03:17,524 So again, very general, I'm gonna do some more kinda 48 00:03:17,524 --> 00:03:22,947 concrete ones with functions that you probably encountered, 49 00:03:22,947 --> 00:03:26,338 and produce some other graphs as well. 50 00:03:26,338 --> 00:03:28,335 Just the general idea here. 51 00:03:33,135 --> 00:03:38,080 Okay, last but not least, again we said, if the negatives on the inside all 52 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,497 that does is reflects a the graph about the x-axis. 53 00:03:41,497 --> 00:03:46,360 So now this portion that was originally on the left side is gonna 54 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,942 get moved over to the right side. 55 00:03:50,504 --> 00:03:52,383 Okay, there's my little arrow, and 56 00:03:52,383 --> 00:03:55,917 this portion that was on the bottom will get moved over to the left side. 57 00:03:55,917 --> 00:04:00,664 So, if- Instead of going over from 0 to -2, 58 00:04:00,664 --> 00:04:05,767 if you reflect it, it'll go over from 0 to 2, and 59 00:04:05,767 --> 00:04:11,963 it'll still go up and then back down, up here to height of 2. 60 00:04:11,963 --> 00:04:17,618 And then if you think about the other part, it was going down from -2 to -4. 61 00:04:17,618 --> 00:04:24,420 So now, it'll go down and come back up between +2 and +4, okay? 62 00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:28,515 And lastly, the part that was on the right side, well, 63 00:04:28,515 --> 00:04:33,482 instead of going to the right like it normally did, if it reflects, 64 00:04:33,482 --> 00:04:36,025 it'll now point over to the left. 65 00:04:36,025 --> 00:04:41,441 And then we'll extend over to an x coordinate of negative 2, 66 00:04:41,441 --> 00:04:48,744 and then we'll jump down here, and we'll extend over until we get to negative 4. 67 00:04:48,744 --> 00:04:53,102 Okay, so again, this is supposed to be a flat little line, 68 00:04:53,102 --> 00:04:55,115 very sloppy little graph. 69 00:04:55,115 --> 00:04:59,339 But again, the idea is the shape is exactly preserved. 70 00:04:59,339 --> 00:05:01,937 The only thing that happens is you're just reflecting. 71 00:05:01,937 --> 00:05:05,463 I mean, basically, if you have this on a piece of paper, 72 00:05:05,463 --> 00:05:07,601 just turn your paper over, okay? 73 00:05:07,601 --> 00:05:13,683 And that new graph that you see, is gonna be f of negative x, okay? 74 00:05:13,683 --> 00:05:16,580 So, that's what the new graph will look like, all right? 75 00:05:16,580 --> 00:05:17,462 So I hope these help. 76 00:05:17,462 --> 00:05:22,662 Again, I'm gonna put all of this together, the all the stretching and 77 00:05:22,662 --> 00:05:27,951 reflecting and shifting and transforming with some different graphs, 78 00:05:27,951 --> 00:05:33,861 maybe trig functions, exponential functions, x squared absolute value of x. 79 00:05:33,861 --> 00:05:35,306 Do all that in another video. 80 00:05:35,306 --> 00:05:38,750 So, feel free to dig around for that as well.
