7J 7J Determining transformations 251

b Write y 6 = (5x 1)2 and y0 = (x0 )2 . The points (x, y) satisfying y 6 = (5x 1)2 are
mapped to the points (x0 , y0 ) satisfying y0 = (x0 )2 .
Hence we choose to write
y0 = y 6 and x0 = 5x 1
One transformation is a dilation of factor 5 from the y-axis followed by a translation
of 6 units in the negative direction of the y-axis and 1 unit in the negative direction of
the x-axis.

We note that the transformations we found are far from being the only possible answers. In
fact there are infinitely many choices.

Section summary
The notation developed in this chapter can be used to help find the transformation that
takes the graph of a function to its image.
For example, if the graph of y = f (x) is mapped to the graph of y0 = 2 f (x0 3), we can
see that the transformation
x0 = x + 3 and y0 = 2y
is a suitable choice. This is a translation of 3 units to the right followed by a dilation of
factor 2 from the x-axis.
There are infinitely many transformations that take the graph of y = f (x) to the graph of
y0 = 2 f (x0 3). The one we chose is conventional.
