Q. (b) Describe fully a sequence of transformations which transform the graph of y=x2−12 to the graph of y=6+4x2−14
Analyze original function: We start by analyzing the original function y=x2−12.
Vertical shift and addition: The first transformation we notice is the addition of 6 to the entire function. This is a vertical shift upwards by 6 units.y=x2−12 becomes y=6+x2−12.
Vertical stretch by factor: Next, we observe that the numerator of the fraction has changed from 2 to 4. This is a vertical stretch by a factor of 2. y=6+x2−12 becomes y=6+x2−14.
Horizontal compression by factor: Then, we see that the denominator has changed from (x2−1) to (4x2−1). This is a horizontal compression by a factor of 21, since the x2 term is multiplied by 4.y=6+x2−14 becomes y=6+4x2−14.
Check for horizontal or vertical shift: Finally, we need to check if there is any horizontal or vertical shift associated with the change in the denominator from (x2−1) to (4x2−1). Since the constant term in the denominator remains −1, there is no horizontal or vertical shift associated with this change.
