Transformation of Functions

This document contains sample exam questions on functions and their transformations from past math AS level papers. The questions assess understanding of: - The ranges of functions defined by other functions - Sketching the graph of a function defined in terms of another function - Describing the sequence of transformations that maps one function's graph onto another - Stating the equations of transformed functions in terms of the original function The document contains examples of functions being transformed through translations, reflections, and stretches. Students must understand how changing variables or constants in the definitions of functions results in different graphs.
