TopicFunction Transformations
TypeForward transformation (single point, multiple transformations)
DifficultyModerate -0.8 Part (i) is a straightforward application of horizontal stretch transformation rules (x-coordinate becomes 4/5, y-coordinate unchanged). Part (ii) requires recognizing a horizontal translation of 90° to the right. Both are standard textbook exercises requiring direct recall of transformation rules with minimal problem-solving.

  1. The point \(\mathrm { P } ( 4 , - 2 )\) lies on the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\). Find the coordinates of the image of P when the curve is transformed to \(y = \mathrm { f } ( 5 x )\).
  2. Describe fully a single transformation which maps the curve \(y = \sin x ^ { \circ }\) onto the curve \(y = \sin ( x - 90 ) ^ { \circ }\).

8 (i) The point $\mathrm { P } ( 4 , - 2 )$ lies on the curve $y = \mathrm { f } ( x )$. Find the coordinates of the image of P when the curve is transformed to $y = \mathrm { f } ( 5 x )$.\\
(ii) Describe fully a single transformation which maps the curve $y = \sin x ^ { \circ }$ onto the curve $y = \sin ( x - 90 ) ^ { \circ }$.
