f(x), has "a" stretch, "b" compresses, "c"'s right/left

"d" is up and down, "e"'s some constant, not found.

f(x) points the way, we transform it every day,

Domain and range we'll expect, all start from f(x).


Perhaps we change up the letters, not the notion.

It's reflect, stretch, and compress, then the motion.

While domain is all reversed, no implosion,

Just diagram it out or use a point map.


Might need to first figure out, the parent function.

That f can be many things, avoid assumption.

And exponentials should not, cause a dysfunction,

Pick xy-values so there is no mishap.


I was all confused, but I'm over it now.

And I can offer advice.

If nothing's getting through, then let us take this route:

A-B-C-D-E, F(X).

Has "a" stretch, "b" compresses, "c"'s right/left

"d" is up and down, "e"'s some constant, not found.

f(x) points the way, we transform it every day,

Domain and range we'll expect, all start from f(x).


Reflect and stretch, compress then move.

A-B-C-D-E, F(X).


But wait the vertical stretch, could be a fraction.

Given an "a" less than one, compressed reaction.

Or horizontally stretch, makes for abstraction.

Careful factoring your domain too, see?

If nothing's getting through, then let us take this route:

A-B-C-D-E, F(X).

Has "a" stretch, "b" compresses, "c"'s right/left

"d" we know while "e", is valued less than three,

f(x) points the way, we transform it every day,

Domain and range we'll expect, all start from f(x).
