More Trig TransformationsObjectives: To consolidate
understanding of combinations of transformations with trig graphs.
To work out the order of combined transformations.To be confident plotting and
recognising key properties of trig graphs on a GDC.
What function is this the graph of?
Lesson Outcomes
• It is really important that as we build our knowledge of trigonometric functions (and any others) it is incorporated in our knowledge on other areas like domain, range, composite functions, transformations and modulus functions.
• In this lesson we will aim to do this by looking over different ways that these areas may be linked.
If a stretch and a translation are in the same direction we have to be very careful.

followed by a translation of gives

With the translation first, we get 1sin xy

Where Order is Important
• Where Translations in x are combined with stretches in x or reflections in the y axis the order is important.
• So too for Translations in y with stretches in y or reflections in the x-axis.
• For each of the following questions draw shapes on your board to illustrate the combination of transformations needed to change the object into the image.

Transformations and Trig
• You are expected to be familiar with how to transform trig functions (as well as any others).
• One of the tricky things with trigonometric functions is that they may be simpler to write as a single function or one with fewer transformations.
• By considering transformations of secx show that sec(π/2+2x) is the same as –cosec2x
• Hence solve sec(π/2+2x) = 2 for 0≤x≤π
Modulus and Composites
• If f(x)=secx and g(x)=|x| sketch the graph of y=gf(x)
• Solve gf(x)=2√3/3 where 0≤x≤2π
