Exam questions on Single transformations of curves

  1. The point P(4,6)P(4,6) lies on the curve y=f(x)y=\mathrm{f}(x).
    The curve y=f(x)y=\mathrm{f}(x) is transformed to y=f(−x)y=\mathrm{f}(-x). Find the coordinates of the image of PP and describe the transformation.2 marks
  2. The curve CC has equation y=x2+2xy=x^2+2x.
    CC is stretched parallel to the xx-axis with scale factor 22. Find the equation of the image.2 marks
  3. The ellipse EE has equation x24+y29=1\dfrac{x^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{9}=1.
    EE is reflected in the line y=xy=x. Find the equation of the image, and the coordinates of the points where the image meets the xx-axis.3 marks
