Original Prompt

Create me a two-page homework assignment on the topic of vertical and horizontal graph transformations. Students should be able to write vertical and horizontal shifts using function notation. This is for 11th-grade Algebra 2.

This learning resource focuses on function transformations, specifically horizontal and vertical shifts. Students will learn how to apply proper function notation to create new functions from existing ones by identifying changes that occur outside or inside the function. Vertical shifts affect the Y-values; for example, the notation $f(x) + k$ shifts the graph up by $k$ units, while $f(x) - k$ shifts it down by $k$ units. Horizontal shifts affect the X-values, with the notation $f(x - h)$ indicating a shift to the right and $f(x + h)$ indicating a shift to the left. Instruction includes visual examples, step-by-step guidance for combining shifts, and practice exercises. Students are encouraged to reflect on their understanding and clarify common errors in notation. Overall, the objective is to build students' confidence in manipulating function transformations using appropriate notations and analyses.
