1<br />

is a positive number, this induces only a horizontal scaling by a factor of<br />

B . If B < 0, then<br />

we have a factor of −1 in play, and dividing by it induces a reflection about the y-axis. So we<br />

have x = a−H<br />

B<br />

as the input to g which corresponds to the input x = a to f. We now evaluate<br />

g ( ) (<br />

a−H<br />

B = Af B · a−H<br />

B<br />

+ H) + K = Af(a)+K = Ab + K. We notice that the output from f is<br />

first multiplied by A. As with the constant B, ifA>0, this induces only a vertical scaling. If<br />
