Stretches and Compressions
Graphs of functions can be stretched or compressed in either the horizontal or vertical direction.

Vertical stretches and compressions
Vertical stretches and compressions
- Given a function f(x), a new function g(x) = af(x), where a is a constant, is a vertical stretch or vertical compression of the function f(x).
- If a > 1, then the graph will be stretched.
- If 0 < a < 1, then the graph will be compressed.

Horizontal stretches and compressions
Horizontal stretches and compressions
- Given a function f(x), a new function g(x) = f(bx), where b is a constant, is a horizontal stretch or horizontal compression of the function f(x).
- If b > 1, then the graph will be compressed by .
- If 0 < b < 1, then the graph will be stretched by .
