Exam questions on 2.8 Transformations of graphs

  1. The graph of y=f(x)y=f(x), where f(x)=x2+4f(x)=x^2+4, is translated by the vector (3−2)\begin{pmatrix}3\\ -2\end{pmatrix} to give the graph of y=g(x)y=g(x).
    Find g(x)g(x) in the form ax2+bx+cax^2+bx+c.2 marks
  2. The point P(4,6)P(4,6) lies on the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x).
    The graph of y=f(x)y=f(x) is stretched vertically with scale factor 3 and the resulting graph is then reflected in the xx-axis. Write down the equation of the final graph and the coordinates of the image of PP.2 marks
  3. The graph of y=sin⁡xy=\sin x (xx in radians) is transformed to give the graph of y=g(x)y=g(x), where g(x)=4sin⁡2x+1g(x)=4\sin 2x+1.
    Describe fully a sequence of three transformations that maps the graph of y=sin⁡xy=\sin x onto the graph of y=g(x)y=g(x).3 marks
