In the diagram, the graph of y = f(x) is shown with solid lines. The graph shown with broken lines is a transformation of y = f(x). [Figure 5.1]

  1. (a)Describe fully the two single transformations of y = f(x) that have been combined to give the resulting transformation.[4]
  2. (b)State in terms of y, f and x, the equation of the graph shown with broken lines.[2]

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Feb/Mar 2021). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [2] (Stretch) (factor 3 in y direction or parallel to the y-axis)
  2. [2] (Translation) (4, 0) (Translation 4 (units) in x direction. N.B. Transformations can be given in either order.)
  3. [2] [y =] 3f(x - 4) (B1 for 3, B1 for (x – 4) with no extra terms.)
