The graph of the circle with centre (0, 0) and radius 𝑟 has the following features:
a. It has two endpoints of the horizontal diameter at (−𝑟, 0) and (𝑟, 0).
b. It has two endpoints of the vertical diameter at (0, −𝑟) and (0, 𝑟).
c. The domain is −𝑟 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑟.
d. The range is −𝑟 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 𝑟.
Generally, the graph of (𝑥 − 𝑎)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑏)2 = 𝑟 2 (circle with centre (𝑎, 𝑏) and radius 𝑟 ) has the
features:

Given the basic graph of 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) we may sketch the graph of
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑓(𝑏𝑥 − 𝑝) + 𝑞
by applying combinations of transformations to the basic graph:
1. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥 − 𝑝)
a. For 𝑝 > 0, it is a horizontal translation to the right by 𝑝 units.
b. For 𝑝 < 0, it is a horizontal translation to the left by −𝑝 units.
2. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑏𝑥)

a. For 𝑏 > 0, it is a horizontal dilation by a scale factor of 𝑏.

b. For 𝑏 < 0, it is a horizontal dilation by a scale factor of − 𝑏 with a reflection in the 𝑦-axis.
3. 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑓(𝑥)
a. For 𝑎 > 0, it is a vertical dilation by a scale factor of 𝑎.
b. For 𝑎 < 0, it is a vertical dilation by a scale factor of −𝑎 with a reflection in the 𝑥-axis.
4. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑞
a. For 𝑞 > 0, it is a vertical translation upwards by 𝑞 units.
b. For 𝑞 < 0, it is a vertical translation downwards by −𝑞 units.
The diagrams show the graphs of 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥), 𝑦 = 𝑓(2𝑥), 𝑦 = 𝑓(−𝑥) and 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥 + 1).
