Precalculus transformations test: questions

Question 1 – Describe transformations [2 pts]

Describe the transformations that change \(y=x^{2}\) into \(y=-(x+2)^{2}+4\).

Question 2 – Move points [2 pts]

The point \((4,-3)\) is on \(f\). Find the matching point on (a) \(y=f(x-1)+2\); (b) \(y=-2f(x)\).

Question 3 – Write an equation [2 pts]

Write the equation of \(y=\sqrt{x}\) shifted left 4 and then reflected over the \(x\)-axis, and state its range.

Question 4 – Even and odd [2 pts]

Decide whether each is even, odd or neither: (a) \(f(x)=x^{3}-5x\); (b) \(g(x)=x^{2}+1\).

Question 5 – Read an absolute value graph [3 pts]

A transformation of y = |x|.

(a) Write the equation of the graph. (b) State the range. (c) Find the \(x\)-intercepts.

Question 6 – Transform a table [2 pts]

Values of f.

Complete a table for \(g(x)=2f(x)-1\) using the same \(x\)-values.

Question 7 – Sequence of transformations [2 pts]

Describe the transformations from \(y=\sqrt{x}\) to \(y=3\sqrt{x-2}+1\) and find the value at \(x=11\).

Question 8 – Fountain [3 pts]

Water from a fountain.

Water follows \(y=-0.5(x-4)^{2}+8\) (feet). (a) Find the greatest height. (b) Find the height when \(x=2\). (c) Find where it lands.

Question 9 – Order of transformations [2 pts]

Write the equation obtained from \(y=x^{2}\) by shifting right 3, stretching vertically by 2, and reflecting over the \(x\)-axis.

Key facts behind this precalculus transformations test

Key facts

f(x) + k shifts up k; f(x – h) shifts right h.
-f(x) reflects over the x-axis; f(-x) reflects over the y-axis.
a f(x) stretches vertically by |a|; f(bx) compresses horizontally by 1/|b|.
A point (p, q) on f becomes (p + h, a q + k) on a f(x – h) + k.
Even functions satisfy f(-x) = f(x); odd functions satisfy f(-x) = -f(x).
