This document provides instructions and examples for graph transformations including:
1) Shifting graphs up or down by adding or subtracting a constant (e.g. y = f(x) + 3 shifts the graph up 3 units)
2) Reflecting graphs across the x-axis by multiplying the entire function by -1 (e.g. y = -f(x) reflects the graph)
3) Stretching or compressing graphs along the x-axis by multiplying x values inside the function by a constant (e.g. y = f(1/2x) compresses the graph along the x-axis to half the scale)

GCSE HIGHER MATHS QUICK REVISION – GRAPH TRANSFORMATIONS… The graph of y = cos(x) for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360° is shown below.
a) Draw the graph of y = cos(-x) + 1 on the
grid.
b) Write down the x-values of the points
where y = -cos(x + 30) crosses the x-axis.
The diagram shows part of a curve with
equation y = f(x). The coordinates of the minimum point of this curve are (3, 1). For each graph, work out a possible equation of the curve shown by the solid line. The curve shown Write down the coordinates of the minimum by a dotted line on each grid is y = cos(x). point of the curve with equation: a) b) a) y = f(x) + 3
b) y = f(x – 2)
c) y = f(½x)
