How horizontal scaling transforms the shape of a function's graph
In short: Discover how multiplying the input of a function by a constant k scales its graph horizontally, and learn how to identify the value of k from visual transformations.
This video explores the concept of horizontal scaling within the context of algebraic function transformations. It demonstrates how the function f(k⋅x) alters the original graph of f.
By examining multiple examples, the lesson teaches how to relate a transformed function to its original counterpart and determine the specific value of the scaling factor k.
