Dilations and Reflections


A dilation is a transformation that makes the graph ________________(vertically stretches) or

____________ (vertically compresses) than the parent graph. A reflection ________ a figure across the x- axis.

The graph of f(x) = ax2 stretches or compresses the graph of f(x) = x2.
