TopicFunction Transformations
TypeMultiple separate transformations (sketch-based, standard transformations)
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward C1 transformation question requiring only direct application of standard rules: vertical stretch multiplies y-coordinates by 3, and horizontal translation shifts x-coordinates. No problem-solving or conceptual insight needed—just recall and apply basic transformation formulas to three given points.
Spec1.02w Graph transformations: simple transformations of f(x)

\includegraphics{figure_1} Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve with equation \(y = f(x)\). The curve passes through the origin \(O\) and through the point \((6, 0)\). The maximum point on the curve is \((3, 5)\). On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation
  1. \(y = 3f(x)\), [2]
  2. \(y = f(x + 2)\). [3]
On each diagram, show clearly the coordinates of the maximum point and of each point at which the curve crosses the \(x\)-axis.

Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve with equation $y = f(x)$. The curve passes through the origin $O$ and through the point $(6, 0)$. The maximum point on the curve is $(3, 5)$.

On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item $y = 3f(x)$, [2]
\item $y = f(x + 2)$. [3]
\end{enumerate}

On each diagram, show clearly the coordinates of the maximum point and of each point at which the curve crosses the $x$-axis.
