5short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is direction of horizontal translation?
Show answer
(x−3)(x - 3) shifts right, (x+3)(x + 3) shifts left.
What are order matters?
Show answer
Apply transformations consistently; the standard order is inside-out within the function and then outside-in.
What is q1?
Show answer
Describe the transformations of y=x2y = x^2 giving y=(x−4)2−2y = (x - 4)^2 - 2, and state the vertex. [2 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
The graph of y=xy = \sqrt{x} is transformed to y=3x+2y = 3\sqrt{x + 2}. State the domain, and the image of the point (0,0)(0,0). [3 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
Starting from y=f(x)y = f(x), write the rule after a reflection in the xx-axis, then a translation 55 up. [2 marks]
