Exam questions on Composite transformations of curves

  1. The curve CC has equation y=x2+1y=x^2+1.
    The minimum point of CC is enlarged with scale factor 2, centre the origin, and its image is then translated by (3−1)\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}. Find the coordinates of the final position of the point.2 marks
  2. The curve CC has equation y=exy=\mathrm{e}^x.
    CC is rotated through 180∘180^\circ about the origin and the image is then translated by (03)\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}. Find the equation of the final image and write down the equation of its asymptote.2 marks
  3. The curve CC has equation y=1x−2y=\dfrac{1}{x-2}.
    CC is rotated through 90∘90^\circ anticlockwise about the origin. Find the equation of the image, giving your answer in the form y=g(x)y=\mathrm{g}(x).3 marks
