Answer

a. The graph of g is obtained by shifting the graph of f(x,y) up (along the z-axis) by two units. b. Stretch f(x,y) vertically (along the z-axis) by a factor of 2. c. Reflect f(x,y) about the xy-plane. d. Reflect f(x,y) about the xy-plane and shift upward by 2 units.

Work Step by Step

In analogy with 2D graphs of single-variable functions: $f(x)\pm c$ meant raising/lowering the graph ( in the y-direction). For f(x,y), "up" and "down" means along the z-axis. $c\cdot f(x)$ was either stretching or compressing in the y direction. Here, the stretching and compressing is in the z-direction. $-f(x)$ was reflected about the x-axis. Here, we reflect about the xy-plane.
