Matrices: Factor theorem of P(x):
Mapping Matrix (ax+b) a factor if P =0
Reflection in the x-axis
(x+k) a factor if P(-k) = 0
Reflection in the y-axis
Remainder theorem of P(x):
Dilation of factor k from the y-axis Divide P(x) by (ax+b), remainder is P
Dilation of factor k from the x-axis Divide P(x) by (x+k), remainder is P(-k)
Reflection in the line y = x (create inverse Inverse functions:
function) x and y values swap, dom and ran swap
Reflection in the line y = -x dom = ran f
ran = dom f
TX = X’ → X= X’ ( ALWAYS Inverse relation is not a function unless original
relation is a function
COMES FIRST)
Give domain and range
Want to find x in terms of x’, y in terms of y’ (i.e. x
and y are the subjects) Might need to restrict domain to create a inverse
function

Transformations:
Trigonometry: Multiply whole thing by k: dilation of factor k
General solutions from x-axis
If cos (x) = a, x = 2nπ ± (a), where n Z and Multiply only x by k: dilation of factor from y-
a [−1, 1]
If tan (x) = a, x = nπ + (a), where n Z and a R axis
If sin (x) = a, x = 2nπ + (a), or FACTORISE FOR TRANSFORMATIONS
x = (2n + 1)π − (a), where n Z and
a [−1, 1] Dilation from x-axis (x, y) → (x, ay)
Dilation from y-axis (x, y) → (bx, y)
Exponential/Log: Reflection in x-axis (x, y) → (x, -y)
Logarithm laws Reflection in y-axis (x, y) → (-x, y)
= + Translation in x-axis (x, y) → (x+h, y)
= - Translation in y-axis (x, y) → (x, y+k)

Dom (f+g)(x) = Dom f(x) Dom g(x) Modulus (absolute) function:
Dom (fg)(x) = Dom f(x) Dom g(x) y= is an even function
USE CALCULATOR TO VISUALISE COMPOSITE y= : reflect everything that is below x-axis
FUNCTIONS, MUST WORK OUT DOMAIN, RANGE (must also consider vertical translation)
RESTRICTIONS BY HAND y = f( ): everything to right of y-axis is mirrored
to form a symmetrical graph
MUST CONSIDER GRAPH TRANSLATION
