\[P(x, y) = (x + 1, y - 1)\] \[Q(x, y) = (2x, 3y)\]

When working with composite functions that depend on two variables, how can you write out the intermediate step for $PQ(x, y)$?


\[P(2x, 3y)\]

If you have a transformation $S$ that maps all points

\[(x, y) \to (x + 1, y)\]

why is substituting $x = x + 1$ to find out the new equation of

\[y = x^2 + 2x + 2\]

clearly not valid?


Because that’s a translation in the wrong direction.

What is the general co-ordinate for the quadratic

\[y = x^2 + 2x + 2\]

?


\[(x, x^2 + 2x + 2)\]

What is the general co-ordinate for the quadratic

\[y = x^2 + 2x + 2\]

after the transformation that maps

\[(x, y) \to (x + 1, y)\]

?


\[(x + 1, x^2 + 2x + 2)\]

How could you could you work out a new equation for a curve that has been transformed to

\[(x + 1, x^2 + 2x + 2)\]

?


Make the substitutions

\[u = x+1\] \[v = x^2 + 2x + 2\]

And then use the fact $x = u - 1$ to write a definition for $v$ in terms of $u$.
