Problem-solving — Worked Solutions
1Problem 1
Answer
(a) Translation 5 units left. (b) Translation 3 units up. (c) Reflection in the -axis. (d) Vertical stretch by factor 4.
Full working
Replace with : left . Add constant outside: up. Negate outside: reflect in -axis. Multiply outside: vertical stretch.
2Problem 2
Answer
(a) , . (b) , -intercept depends on . (c) , max at . (d) , unchanged.
Full working
(a) Vertical shift down 5. (b) Horizontal shift left 3: min . -intercept becomes — value of original at . (c) Reflect in -axis. (d) Horizontal stretch by 2.
3Problem 3
Answer
(a) . (b) . (c) .
Full working
(a) Right 2 replaces with ; down 3 subtracts 3. (b) Reflect: . Then translate: . (c) Stretch first: . Translate right: .
4Problem 4
Answer
(a) Vertex ; maximum. (b) . (c) . (d) Vertical stretch ×2, reflect in -axis, translate 3 left and 5 up.
Full working
(a) Vertex ; coefficient → max. (b) . (c) . (d) Read off coefficient sign and shifts.
5Problem 5
Answer
(a) . (b) Reflect in the -axis, vertically compress by factor , then translate 4 left.
Full working
(a) Translate first: . Stretch: . Reflect: . (b) Inverse: reverse the order and invert each step.
6Problem 6
Answer
(a) , , . (b) . (c) .
Full working
Translate right 2 (add 2 to ) and up 3 (add 3 to ).
7Problem 7
Answer
(a) unchanged; -intercept . (b) ; -intercept unchanged. (c) unchanged; -intercept .
Full working
Vertical stretch preserves -intercepts (zeros remain zeros) and scales the -intercept. Horizontal compression halves -intercepts and leaves -intercept unchanged (it depends on ). Reflection in -axis flips -intercept sign.
8Problem 8
Answer
(a) . (b) Amplitude 3, period . (c) .
Full working
(a) Multiply by 3 and replace with . (b) Amplitude = coefficient of ; period = . (c) Add 1.
9Problem 9
Answer
.
Full working
Each -coord has doubled; -coords unchanged. This is a vertical stretch by factor 2.
10Problem 10
Answer
(a) and . (b) Translate 3 right and 2 up. (c) .
Full working
(a) Asymptotes shift with the graph. (b) Inside: shift right 3; outside: shift up 2. (c) .
11Problem 11
Answer
(a) Translate 1 right, vertical stretch ×3, reflect in -axis, translate 4 up. (b) , maximum. (c) .
Full working
(a) Inside: → right 1. Outside: → stretch ×3 and reflect. Then . (b) New vertex at ; coefficient is so max. (c) .
12Problem 12
Answer
(a) Chain 1: . Chain 2: . (b) Not the same — stretch is applied to the constant 2 as well in Chain 2. (c) Two translations (horizontal and vertical) commute, since each acts on a different coordinate.
Full working
(a) Apply each step to the function in order. (b) Stretch acts before the addition in Chain 1 but after in Chain 2 — so the constant gets stretched in Chain 2. (c) Horizontal and vertical translations commute because they act on and independently.
