Reflections in the coordinate axes of the
graph of y = f(x) are represented by:
Reflection in the x-axis: h(x) = -f(x)
Reflection in the y-axis: h(x) = f(-x)

Horizontal, vertical, and reflection shifts are
all call rigid transformations. These
transformations only change the position of
the graph in the coordinate plane

Non-rigid transformations are those that
cause distortion of the graph.

A non-rigid transformation of the graph
y= f(x) is represented by y = cf(x), where the
transformation is a vertical stretch if c > 1 and
a vertical shrink if 0 < c< 1.

Another non-rigid transformation of the
graph y = f(x) is represented by h(x) = f(cx),
where the transformation is a horizontal
shrink if c > 1 and a horizontal stretch if 0<c<1

Just as real numbers can be combined by the
operations of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division to form other real
numbers, two functions can be combined to
create a new function.

This is known as an arithmetic combination
of functions.

The domain of an arithmetic combination of
functions f and g consists of all real numbers
that are common to the domains of f and g.
