Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k ∙ f(x), f(k ∙ x), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Extend to polynomial, trigonometric (sine and cosine), logarithmic, reciprocal, radical, and general piecewise functions.

Example Problems
