Learn about horizontal and vertical expansions and compressions (aka 'stretches') and how they occur in the graphs of functions when x is replaced with bx or y with ay in the equations of functions. Concepts are addressed three ways: graphically, numerically, and algebraically, ie. with graphs, points and tables, and equations.

Corresponds to chapter 1, section 1.2 in McGraw-Hill's Pre-Calculus 12, but also fits with the Function Transformations unit from almost any other Pre-Calculus course or textbook.
My instructional approach emphasizes conceptual understanding of and connections between concepts and ideas, rather than just pure memorization.
