Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
Using graphing technology, graph . Then, experiment with the following changes to the function. Record your observations (include sketches, if helpful).
Adding different constant terms to (for example: , ).
Multiplying by different positive coefficients greater than 1 (for example: ).
Multiplying by different positive coefficients between 0 and 1 (for example: ).
Multiplying by negative coefficients (for example: ).
Use your observations to sketch these functions on the coordinate planes, which currently show .
