Calculus I Problem Solving Session: Combining Functions, Shifting and Scaling Graphs, Study notes of Introduction to Philosophy

A problem solving session for calculus i students focusing on combining functions, shifting and scaling graphs. It includes various exercises and examples to help students understand the concepts of function composition, domain finding, and graph transformations. Students will learn how to find the domain of a sum or difference of functions, compose functions, and determine how the graph of one function can be obtained from another by shifting, scaling, and reflecting.

Shifting, Scaling, and Reflecting Graphs

  1. Determine how the graph of ๐‘”(๐‘ฅ) = 1 โˆ’ 2โˆšโˆ’๐‘ฅ can be obtained from the graph of ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) = โˆš๐‘ฅ Explain your answer and sketch all steps.
  2. Determine how the graph of ๐‘”(๐‘ฅ) = |โˆ’ 13 ๐‘ฅ + 1| โˆ’ 2 can be obtained from the graph of ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) = |๐‘ฅ| Explain your answer and sketch all steps.
  3. Given the graph of ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) a) Write down an expression for the graph of ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) reflected with respect to x- axis then vertically compressed by a factor 3 then shifted 2 units up. b) Sketch all steps. c) What is the range of the resulting function?
