Select Parent Function 2 in order to investigate stretching and shrinking the graph of the parent function y = x - x. (a) Set the horizontal stretch/shrink factor to 2. Observe that the x-intercepts at #1 have moved to #0.5. What horizontal factor is necessary to move the x-intercepts from +1 to +2? (b) Based on the pattern observed in part (a), what horizontal factor is necessary to move the x-intercepts from +1 to +5? What horizontal factor is necessary to move the x-intercepts from +1 to +0.25? (c) How can the x-intercept at the origin be moved away from the origin using horizontal and vertical stretch/shrink factor(s)? O Use a very large horizontal factor and a very small vertical factor. Use a very small horizontal factor and a very small vertical factor. Use a very small horizontal factor and a very large vertical factor. Use a very large horizontal factor and a very large vertical factor. O It is not possible to move a point at the origin using horizontal or vertical stretch/shrink factors. Need Help? Read It
