Why does y=f(x ± a ) translate y=f(x)
parallel to the x-axis by scale factor of a?
Being able to transform basic graphs is an essential skill to develop for sketching graphs. In this series of videos I show you why various transformations work on any graph of the form y = f(x).
Other videos in this series of Why they do what they do? are : reflections, stretches
