  1. The graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) is transformed to the graph of \(y = 2 \mathrm { f } ( x - 1 )\).
    Describe fully the two single transformations which have been combined to give the resulting transformation.
  2. The curve \(y = \sin 2 x - 5 x\) is reflected in the \(y\)-axis and then stretched by scale factor \(\frac { 1 } { 3 }\) in the \(x\)-direction. Write down the equation of the transformed curve.

  1. Describe fully a sequence of transformations that map the line \(y = x\) onto the line $$y = 10 - 2 x$$ The function f is defined as \(\mathrm { f } : x \rightarrow 10 - 2 x , x \in R , x \geq 0\).
    The function ff is denoted by g .
  2. Find \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\), giving your answer in a form without brackets.
  3. Determine the domain of g .
