simple transformations on the graph of y = f(x)

Exam specification: Edexcel > Maths A-level > C1 > Algebra and functions

Knowledge of the effect of simple transformations on the graph of y = f(x) as represented by y = af(x), y = f(x) + a, y = f(x + a), y = f(ax). Students should be able to apply one of these transformations to any of the above functions (quadratics, cubics, reciprocal) and sketch the resulting graph. Given the graph of any function y = f(x) students should be able to sketch the graph resulting from one of these transformations.
