Illustrative Mathematics: F Bf.3 Transforming the Graph of a Function

For Teachers 9th - 10th Standards
This task examines, in a graphical setting, the impact of adding a scalar, multiplying by a scalar, and making a linear substitution of variables on the graph of a function f. There is no formula for the function so the focus is on...
