(1,1)->(0,-2)
(3,27)->(6,24)
(4,64)->(9,58)
Thanks!
Your answers are correct! Good job.
For part a) you correctly reflected the points across the y-axis, horizontally stretched them by a factor of 2, and vertically translated them 2 units up.
For part b) you accurately compressed the points vertically by a factor of 1/2, horizontally stretched them by a factor of 4, and vertically translated them 6 units down.
For part c) you properly stretched the points horizontally by a factor of 3, translated them 3 units to the left, and vertically translated them 3 units down.
Well done!
To verify if the answers are correct, we can apply the given transformations step by step to the original points and check if the resulting coordinates match the given answers.
a) For the first transformation, reflecting in the y-axis, we simply change the sign of the x-coordinate. So, the point (1,1) becomes (-1,1).
Next, for the horizontal stretching by a factor of 2, we multiply the x-coordinate by 2. Therefore, (-1,1) becomes (-2,1).
Finally, for the vertical translation 2 units up, we add 2 to the y-coordinate. Thus, (-2,1) becomes (-2,3).
So, the transformed coordinates for the point (1,1) are (-2,3).
Similarly, applying the same transformations to the other points:
(3,27) -> (-3,27) -> (-6,27) -> (-6,29)
(4,64) -> (-4,64) -> (-8,64) -> (-8,66)
Thus, the coordinates for the transformed points on the new curve are:
(1,1) -> (-2,3)
(3,27) -> (-6,29)
(4,64) -> (-8,66)
b) For the vertical compression by a factor of 1/2, we divide the y-coordinate by 1/2. So, (1,1) becomes (1,2).
Next, for the horizontal stretching by a factor of 4, we multiply the x-coordinate by 4. Therefore, (1,2) becomes (4,2).
Finally, for the vertical translation 6 units down, we subtract 6 from the y-coordinate. Thus, (4,2) becomes (4,-4).
So, the transformed coordinates for the point (1,1) are (4,-4).
Similarly, applying the same transformations to the other points:
(3,27) -> (3,13.5) -> (12,13.5) -> (12,7.5)
(4,64) -> (4,32) -> (16,32) -> (16,26)
Thus, the coordinates for the transformed points on the new curve are:
(1,1) -> (4,-4)
(3,27) -> (12,7.5)
(4,64) -> (16,26)
c) For the horizontal stretching by a factor of 3, we multiply the x-coordinate by 3. So, (1,1) becomes (3,1).
Next, for the horizontal translation 3 units to the left, we subtract 3 from the x-coordinate. Therefore, (3,1) becomes (0,1).
Finally, for the vertical translation 3 units down, we subtract 3 from the y-coordinate. Thus, (0,1) becomes (0,-2).
So, the transformed coordinates for the point (1,1) are (0,-2).
Similarly, applying the same transformations to the other points:
(3,27) -> (9,27) -> (6,27) -> (6,24)
(4,64) -> (12,64) -> (9,64) -> (9,58)
Thus, the coordinates for the transformed points on the new curve are:
(1,1) -> (0,-2)
(3,27) -> (6,24)
(4,64) -> (9,58)
Therefore, based on the given answers, your listed coordinates for each transformed point are indeed correct.
