TopicFunction Transformations
TypeForward transformation (single point, single transformation)
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward transformations question testing basic recall of function transformation rules. Part (i) requires applying a horizontal stretch factor of 1/5 (routine calculation), and part (ii) asks for a simple horizontal translation of 90 units. Both parts are standard textbook exercises with no problem-solving or conceptual depth required, making this easier than average.
Spec1.02w Graph transformations: simple transformations of f(x)

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