Transformations of Graphs - Translations, Reflections and Scalings of Graphs

Transformations of Graphs - Translations, Reflections and Scalings of Graphs

Let \(f(x) = 3x^2\). The graph of \(f\) is translated \(1\) unit to the right and \(2\) units down. The graph of \(g\) is the image of the graph of \(f\) after this translation.

  1. Write down the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of \(g\).
  2. Express \(g\) in the form \(g(x) = 3(x - p)^2 + q\).

The graph of \(h\) is the reflection of the graph of \(g\) in the \(x\)-axis.

  1. Write down the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of \(h\).
