00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:01,088
- [Instructor] The graph of y

2
00:00:01,088 --> 00:00:03,003
is equal to absolute value of x

3
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:04,812
is reflected across the x-axis

4
00:00:04,812 --> 00:00:07,726
and then scaled vertically
by a factor of seven.

5
00:00:07,726 --> 00:00:10,603
What is the equation of the new graph?

6
00:00:10,603 --> 00:00:13,068
So pause the video and see
if you can figure that out.

7
00:00:13,068 --> 00:00:15,254
Alright, let's work
through it together now.

8
00:00:15,254 --> 00:00:17,508
Now, you might not need
to draw it visually

9
00:00:17,508 --> 00:00:19,883
but I will just so that
we can all together

10
00:00:19,883 --> 00:00:22,378
visualize what is going on.

11
00:00:22,378 --> 00:00:24,879
So let's say that's my x-axis

12
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:26,712
and that is my y-axis.

13
00:00:29,837 --> 00:00:32,253
y equals the absolute value of x.

14
00:00:32,253 --> 00:00:35,032
So for non-negative values of x,

15
00:00:35,032 --> 00:00:36,547
y is going to be equal to x.

16
00:00:36,547 --> 00:00:37,858
Absolute value of zero is zero.

17
00:00:37,858 --> 00:00:39,017
Absolute value of one is one.

18
00:00:39,017 --> 00:00:40,730
Absolute value of two is two.

19
00:00:40,730 --> 00:00:42,462
So it's gonna look like this.

20
00:00:42,462 --> 00:00:44,923
It's gonna have a slope of one

21
00:00:44,923 --> 00:00:46,328
and then for negative values,

22
00:00:46,328 --> 00:00:47,684
when you take the absolute value,

23
00:00:47,684 --> 00:00:48,583
you're gonna take the opposite.

24
00:00:48,583 --> 00:00:50,062
You're gonna get the positive.

25
00:00:50,062 --> 00:00:52,175
So it's gonna look like this.

26
00:00:52,175 --> 00:00:55,012
Let me see if I can draw
that a little bit cleaner.

27
00:00:55,012 --> 00:00:58,032
This is a hand drawn
sketch so bear with me

28
00:00:58,032 --> 00:00:59,078
but hopefully this is familiar.

29
00:00:59,078 --> 00:00:59,911
You've seen the graph

30
00:00:59,911 --> 00:01:04,296
of y is equal to absolute
value of x before.

31
00:01:04,296 --> 00:01:06,708
Now, let's think about the
different transformations.

32
00:01:06,708 --> 00:01:10,875
So first, they say is
reflected across the x-axis.

33
00:01:12,349 --> 00:01:13,599
So for example,

34
00:01:14,558 --> 00:01:18,315
if I have some x value right over here,

35
00:01:18,315 --> 00:01:20,242
before, I would take
the absolute value of x

36
00:01:20,242 --> 00:01:21,878
and I would end up there

37
00:01:21,878 --> 00:01:25,131
but now we wanna reflect across the x-axis

38
00:01:25,131 --> 00:01:28,748
so we wanna essentially get
the negative of that value

39
00:01:28,748 --> 00:01:32,192
associated with that corresponding x

40
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:33,705
and so for example, this x,

41
00:01:33,705 --> 00:01:35,921
before, we would get
the absolute value of x

42
00:01:35,921 --> 00:01:37,969
but now we wanna flip across the x-axis

43
00:01:37,969 --> 00:01:40,512
and we wanna get the negative of it.

44
00:01:40,512 --> 00:01:42,838
So in general, what we are doing

45
00:01:42,838 --> 00:01:47,005
is we are getting the negative
of the absolute value of x.

46
00:01:48,843 --> 00:01:51,743
In general, if you're
flipping over the x-axis,

47
00:01:51,743 --> 00:01:53,093
you're getting the negative.

48
00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:57,791
You're scaling the expression
or the function by a negative.

49
00:01:57,791 --> 00:02:00,240
So this is going to be y
is equal to the negative

50
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,200
of the absolute value of x.

51
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,919
Once again, whatever absolute value of x

52
00:02:03,919 --> 00:02:05,881
was giving you before for given x,

53
00:02:05,881 --> 00:02:08,062
we now wanna get the negative of it.

54
00:02:08,062 --> 00:02:11,334
We now wanna get the negative of it.

55
00:02:11,334 --> 00:02:16,212
So that's what reflecting
across the x-axis does for us

56
00:02:16,212 --> 00:02:20,379
but then they say scaled
vertically by a factor of seven

57
00:02:22,915 --> 00:02:26,028
and the way I view that is if
you're scaling it vertically

58
00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:27,417
by a factor of seven,

59
00:02:27,417 --> 00:02:30,167
whatever y value you got for given x,

60
00:02:30,167 --> 00:02:33,358
you now wanna get seven times the y value,

61
00:02:33,358 --> 00:02:35,275
seven times the y value

62
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:40,617
for a given x.

63
00:02:43,655 --> 00:02:45,781
And so if you think
about that algebraically,

64
00:02:45,781 --> 00:02:48,407
well, if I want seven times the y value,

65
00:02:48,407 --> 00:02:51,514
I'd have to multiply this thing by seven.

66
00:02:51,514 --> 00:02:55,516
So I would get y is
equal to negative seven

67
00:02:55,516 --> 00:02:58,292
times the absolute value of x

68
00:02:58,292 --> 00:02:59,984
and that's essentially
what they're asking,

69
00:02:59,984 --> 00:03:01,742
what is the equation of the new graph,

70
00:03:01,742 --> 00:03:03,175
and so that's what it would be.

71
00:03:03,175 --> 00:03:05,795
The negative flips us over the x-axis

72
00:03:05,795 --> 00:03:09,027
and then the seven scales
vertically by a factor of seven

73
00:03:09,027 --> 00:03:11,516
but just to understand
what this would look like,

74
00:03:11,516 --> 00:03:13,695
well, you multiply zero times seven,

75
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:15,263
it doesn't change anything

76
00:03:15,263 --> 00:03:17,843
but whatever x this is,

77
00:03:17,843 --> 00:03:20,049
this was equal to negative x

78
00:03:20,049 --> 00:03:23,079
but now we're gonna get
to negative seven x.

79
00:03:23,079 --> 00:03:27,760
So let's see, two, three,
four, five, six, seven

80
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,972
so it'd put it something around that.

81
00:03:29,972 --> 00:03:32,545
So our graph is now going to look,

82
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:34,623
is now going to look like this.

83
00:03:34,623 --> 00:03:39,334
It's going to be stretched
along the vertical axis.

84
00:03:39,334 --> 00:03:41,701
If we were scaling vertically

85
00:03:41,701 --> 00:03:44,654
by something that had an
absolute value less than one

86
00:03:44,654 --> 00:03:46,697
then it would make the graph less tall.

87
00:03:46,697 --> 00:03:47,798
It would make it look,

88
00:03:47,798 --> 00:03:49,552
it would make it look wider.

89
00:03:49,552 --> 00:03:52,245
Let me make it at least look
a little bit more symmetric.

90
00:03:52,245 --> 00:03:54,670
So it's gonna look something,

91
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:57,047
something like that but the key issue

92
00:03:57,047 --> 00:03:58,876
and the reason why I'm
drawing is so you can see

93
00:03:58,876 --> 00:04:00,707
that it looks like it's
being scaled vertically.

94
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:02,668
It's being stretched in
the vertical direction

95
00:04:02,668 --> 00:04:06,232
by a factor of seven and the
way we do that algebraically

96
00:04:06,232 --> 00:04:07,418
is we multiply by seven

97
00:04:07,418 --> 00:04:11,585
and the negative here is what
flipped us over the x-axis.
