Topic Sheet - Higher Tier Transformation of Graphs

This document contains a GCSE mathematics worksheet on transformation of graphs. It includes 9 problems asking students to sketch transformations of common functions like y=x^2, y=sinx, by translating, stretching or compressing the graphs. Students are asked to write the new equations corresponding to the transformed graphs. It also includes problems finding new coordinates of specific points under transformations and identifying equations based on transformed graph sketches.
