Outcomes

U1.AoS1.7

the effect of transformations of the plane, dilation, reflection in axes, translation and simple combinations of these transformations, on the graphs of functions

U1.AoS1.13

describe the effect of transformations on the graphs of relations and functions

U1.AoS2.9

representations of points and transformations

U1.AoS2.4

use of parameters to represent families of functions and determination of rules of simple functions and relations from given information

U1.AoS2.5

transformations of the plane and application to basic functions and relations by simple combinations of dilations (students should be familiar with both ‘parallel to an axis’ and ‘from an axis’ descriptions), reflections in an axis and translations (matrix representation may be used but is not required)
