College Algebra · Module 6 · Transformations of functions

Transformations Walkthrough

Watch toolkit graphs slide, flip, stretch and squeeze while their equations change beside them. Learn why the inside of a function works in reverse, combine moves in the right order, and read an equation straight off a graph. Go at your own pace. Nothing here is graded.

Use the left and right arrow keys to move between steps. Practice next in the Transformations Lab. On every graph the parent function is a grey dashed ghost and the transformed graph is solid purple; horizontal moves are drawn in blue and vertical moves in red. Animations loop so you can watch them as many times as you like.
