Below is the graph of

points

A ( 1,4 )

and

f ( x ) . The curve passes through the origin and the

B ( 3,1 )

also lie on the curve.

Find the coordinates of the images of

O ,

and

under the following

transformations:
i.

f ( 2 ( x2 ) )

Remember the order: reflection, stretch/compression and then translation.

So, do the reflections first, in
compression in
and

x -axis and

x -axis and

y -axis. Then do the stretch or

y -axis. And, lastly, do translations in

y -axis.

Compression gives

O ( 0 ,0 ) , A ( 0 .5, 4 ) , B ( 1 .5,1 )

Then translation gives

O ( 2, 0 ) , A ( 2.5, 4 ) , B ( 3.5, 1 )

ii . f ( 5x ) +2 Rewrite the function to make the immediate coefficient of

:

x -axis

equal

f (( x5 ) ) +2

Reflection in

y -axis gives

O ( 0,0 ) , A (1 , 4 ) , B (3 ,1 )

Translation in

x -axis gives

O ( 5 , 0) , A (4 , 4) , B ( 2 , 1)

Translation in

y -axis gives

O ( 5, 2 ) , A ( 4,6 ) , B ( 2, 3 )

iii . 3 f ( 2 ( 1x ) ) +4 Remember the order: reflection, stretch/compression and

then translation. So, do the reflections first, in

x -axis and

do the stretch

or compression in

x -axis and

y -axis. And,

lastly, do
axis and

y -axis. Then

translations in

y -

x -

axis.

Rewrite the

function to make the

immediate

coefficient of

equal

3 f (2 ( x1 )) + 4
y -axis gives

Reflection in

O ( 0,0 ) , A (1, 4 ) , B(3, 1)

Compression in
Stretch in

x -axis gives

y -axis gives

O ( 0,0 ) , A (0.5, 4 ) , B(1.5, 1)

O ( 0,0 ) , A (0.5,12 ) , B(1.5, 3)

Translation in

x -axis gives

O ( 1 , 0 ) , A ( 0.5,12 ) , B(0 .5, 3)

Translation in

y -axis gives

O ( 1, 4 ) , A ( 0.5, 1 6 ) , B(0.5, 7)
