A multiplier inside the function changes horizontal coordinates by its reciprocal. We’ll match a transformed input to the original feature input, solve for the new x-coordinate, and verify the result with corresponding points on the two graphs. The reciprocal’s magnitude determines stretch or compression, while the inside multiplier’s sign determines whether a reflection also occurs.
