What is function grapher & curve transformations?
A function f: X → Y maps each input element x in domain X to a unique output f(x) in range Y. Geometric transformations of a base function f(x) are defined by g(x) = a · f(b(x - c)) + d, where 'a' represents vertical stretching/reflection, 'b' represents horizontal compression/reflection, 'c' controls horizontal phase shift, and 'd' dictates vertical translation. Stationary points occur where the first derivative equals zero (f'(x) = 0), and inflection points occur where concavity changes sign (f''(x) = 0).
