| Topic | Function Transformations |
| Type | Multiple separate transformations (equation-only, no graph given) |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward C1 question on basic function transformations of quadratic graphs. It requires only routine application of horizontal and vertical translations, finding intercepts by substituting x=0 and y=0, with no problem-solving or novel insight needed. The multi-part structure and requirement to show intercepts adds minimal complexity beyond pure recall. |
| Spec | 1.02n Sketch curves: simple equations including polynomials |
On separate diagrams, sketch the graphs of
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item $y = (x + 3)^2$, [3]
\item $y = (x + 3)^2 + k$, where $k$ is a positive constant. [2]
\end{enumerate}
Show on each sketch the coordinates of each point at which the graph meets the axes.
