TopicFunction Transformations
TypeAlgebraic to algebraic transformation description
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward recall question on function transformations requiring students to identify two standard transformations: a horizontal stretch by scale factor 2 (from the 1/2x) and a vertical translation up by 1 unit. It tests basic knowledge with no problem-solving or novel insight required, making it easier than average.
Spec1.02w Graph transformations: simple transformations of f(x)

2 The graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) is transformed to the graph of \(y = 1 + \mathrm { f } \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } x \right)\).
Describe fully the two single transformations which have been combined to give the resulting transformation.

Question 2:
