03.04.2019: One Lesson of Math - Transformations, 4/5: Compressing and Expanding Graphs of Functions


Today's soundtrack is Porcupine Tree: In Absentia, an example of what prog rock is supposed to sound like.


This evening, I'm learning about how to compress and expand graphs of functions horizontally and vertically.


Important note:

Compressing or expanding a function vertically will affect any constants, since constants affect a graph's position on the y-axis; however, compressing or expanding a function horizontally will not affect any coefficients.
