This paper presents a conceptual analysis for students' images of graphs and their extension to graphs of two-variable functions. We use the conceptual analysis, based on quantitative and ...
If \(f(x) = x^2\), then \(af(x) = a(x^2)\). This tells us that we need to multiply each of the \(y\) coordinates on the graph by \(a\) in order to stretch the original graph. Looking at some ...
