Manipulating graphs

Labels: , , , ,
In the next few days, I'm going to begin posting on graph manipulations. For any graphical expression, small changes to the expression can result in a very predictable change in the position of the graph. For instance, the graph can be shifted along the x-axis (horizontally), or along the y-axis (vertically). Similarly, the graph can be stretched or compressed along either axis as well. This may sound confusing, but the alterations to the equations are simple and easily recognizable. I will provide examples and go into detail in the coming days.

Can I help you find anything else?

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my site! Here, I am going to attempt to explain several math concepts that traditionally give students the most problems. I have found that these difficulties do not necessarily arise from problems with the student's comprehension, but rather are a result of poor teaching of the concepts by the teachers. I am going to try to explain these concepts as simply as possible, using lots of examples that demonstrate key points, in the hopes that these concepts will become clearer and enable the student to advance to higher levels. If there is a concept that you need help with, but don't see it posted yet, feel free to leave a comment, and I will try to post something as soon as possible. Other questions, success stories, or comments on how to improve the site are all welcome as well! Thanks for visiting, and good luck in your studies!
