1. For a function y = f (x), describe the transformation given by:

a. y = f (x + 4)

b. y = f (x) – 7

c. y = f (x) + 3

d. y = -f (x)

e. y = f (x + 1) + 2

2. The graph of y = f (x) is shown. Sketch, on the same axes, the graphs of:

a. y = f (x + 3)

b. y = f (-x)

c. y = f (x + 2) - 1

3. The graph of y = f (x) is shown. The point P has coordinates (1, 3). Find the coordinates of the point
P when the graph is transformed to:

a. y = f (x – 5) y

b. y = -f (x)

c. y = -f (x) + 2 y = f (x)
