This video explains functions and transformations, focusing on how a base function f(x) and a known coordinate (2,2) can be altered. It details three main types of transformations: translations (shifts), stretches, and reflections. Translations involve horizontal (e.g., f(x-2) shifts right by 2 units) and vertical (e.g., f(x)+3 shifts up by 3 units) movements. Stretches include vertical (e.g., 3f(x) multiplies y-values by 3) and horizontal (e.g., f(2x) stretches by a factor of 1/2) changes. Reflections cover mirroring across the x-axis (e.g., -f(x) negates y-values) and the y-axis (e.g., f(-x) negates x-values). The speaker emphasizes that horizontal transformations often behave counter-intuitively compared to their mathematical notation.
