2 + f(x) and f(x) + 2 2011-11-21
From Beth:
Do you do y=2+f(x) the same way as if the 2 came after the equation such as y=f(x) +2 when graphing?

Transformations 2009-02-04
From Vickie:
Hello,

My daughter had a question on her Week By Week about transformations and I can't remember what transformations will result in proportional figures. If a transformation looks like it is smaller what is that called? Also if the figure looks bigger what is that called?

Is there any possible relationship between composite functions and the concept of function transformations?

A rotated rectangle 2007-04-16
From Graham:
There is a circle inside which from the centre to the top is a rectangle. Size is unimportant. If I the rectangle is at 0 degrees and I know the co-ordinates of the 4 corners I can do a check to see whether a given point x,y is inside the rectangle or not.

Question : If the rectangle is rotated by 50 degrees how do I check then as the lines of the rectangle are not perfectly straight with regards to x and y ie at 0 degrees x changes but y is constant and vice versa. At 50 degrees x and y change together.

A sequence of transformations 2005-01-03
From Abraham:
Please go to this web site and look at number 31.

http://www.nysedregents.org/testing/mathre/matharch/mathbtestau02.pdf

That is the New York state education web site. Can you tell me if my answer would be marked correct? My answer was Transformation of 4,-3 (T 4,-3) followed by a reflection in the x-axis.If I graphed the question and wrote that, would I get full credit

Transformations of pattern blocks 2003-02-06
From Cheryl:
I am trying to help my 8th grade son with Transformations - use of patttern blocks. He has to trace a figure and reflect it across the x-axis, which I can do, but then it indicates include ordered pairs - that confuses me.

Polar coordinates 2000-02-24
From Tran Trung:
How do I convert r = 2/(2sin(theta) - 3cos(theta)) to rectangular and x2 + y2 -2y = 0 to polar form?
Answered by Harley Weston.
Shape-preserving transformations 1999-05-04
From J McAndrew:
A shape preserves its shape if a rotation, translation or scaling is performed on it. Are these the only continuous transformations which have this property? These transformations if performed on the parts and then summed have the same effect as the transformation being applied to the whole; are these linear transformations? Who, and what area of mathematics has classified all transformations of this type completely?
