Using Transformations to Sketch a Graph

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Watch as a function becomes transformed one step at a time. The instructor begins with a parent function and analyzes the transformations applied to it. She methodically applies each one with a new graph until reaching the complete transformation. The lesson follows a video discussing each transformation algebraically.
