TopicFunction Transformations
TypeSingle transformation application
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward C1 question testing basic transformation rules. Part (i) requires direct application of the horizontal stretch formula (replace x with 2x), and part (ii) asks for identification of a simple vertical translation. Both parts are routine recall with minimal problem-solving, making this easier than average.
Spec1.02w Graph transformations: simple transformations of f(x)

3
  1. The curve \(y = 5 \sqrt { } x\) is transformed by a stretch, scale factor \(\frac { 1 } { 2 }\), parallel to the \(x\)-axis. Find the equation of the curve after it has been transformed.
  2. Describe the single transformation which transforms the curve \(y = 5 \sqrt { } x\) to the curve \(y = ( 5 \sqrt { } x ) - 3\).

3 (i) The curve $y = 5 \sqrt { } x$ is transformed by a stretch, scale factor $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$, parallel to the $x$-axis. Find the equation of the curve after it has been transformed.\\
(ii) Describe the single transformation which transforms the curve $y = 5 \sqrt { } x$ to the curve $y = ( 5 \sqrt { } x ) - 3$.
