Homework Statement



Back in pre-calc, I learned that f(x) can be transformed in the ways of

y = af(bx +c) + d

But very often I come across nastier functions that aren't transformed by scalars, but instead let's say

y = g(x)

what does the transformation do to g(x)?

1. g(x) + x

2. xg(x)

3. [tex]\sqrt{g(x)}[/tex]

4. sin(x)g(x) (in the case of g(x) being any elementary trig function)
