Looking for learning resources - Precalc 12

In summary, the conversation is about finding learning resources for understanding expansions/compressions of graphs, specifically in regards to writing the function. The person has gone over all the material they have but is still struggling, and has tried searching on Khan Academy with no luck. Another person suggests checking the first link on the forums labeled "Learning Resources" and watching YouTube videos for visual explanations. The person agrees to give it a try.

Does anyone know where I might find some learning resources on expansions/compressions of graphs - in particular, taking the compressions/expansions/translations and writing the function?

I'm finding this very counter-intuitive and have gone over all the material I have on the subject for the course but I'm still struggling with it. I've tried to find something for this on the Khan site but no results when I did the search. So if anyone knows any great resources for learning this i'd appreciate it.

That was the first place I looked.

Sorry about that, my phone froze.

I checked the label and saw a pretty small inventory. When I had trouble learning trigonometry, I went on youtube and watched them do 2 or 3 examples.

You visually see what they refer to as they explain the concept. Usually, they're less than 10 minutes videos and you'll get more out of it than texts.

Good idea - i'll give it a look and see if I can find something on there.

Thanks
