Tutorial: Transformation of functions. 1. Given f(x) = x2, x , sketch the graph of each of the following functions on the same axes. a) y= f(x), b)y= -f(x), c) y=f(x-2) d) y=3+f(x-2) Describe the transformations. 1 The function f is defined by f : x , x , x > 0 on the same axes sketch x a) y= f(x), y= f(x+1) and y= f(x+1)-2. Describe the transformations. The function f is defined by f ( x ) = 2 x + 5 , x . Sketch the function. Describe a sequence of geometric transformations which when applied to the graph of f, will give the graph of a) g ( x) = 6 x + 5 b) h( x) = 6 x +15

(Ans: (a) g(x) =f(3x), the graph g can be obtained by stretching the graph of f parallel to the x-axis by a scale factor of 1/3 about the y-axis as invariant line. (b) h(x) = 3f(x), the graph h can be obtained by stretching the graph of f parallel to the y-axis by a scale factor of 3 about the x-axis as invariant line.)
