Core 1 Mathematics Edexcel June 2013 Question 8
Transformations of Graphs
Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve with equation y = f(x) where
f(x) = (x + 3)2(x - 1), x ∈ R

The curve crosses the x-axis at (1, 0), touches it at (–3, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, –9)

(a) In the space below, sketch the curve C with equation y = f(x + 2) and state the coordinates of the points where the curve C meets the x-axis.

(b) Write down an equation of the curve C.

(c) Use your answer to part (b) to find the coordinates of the point where the curve C meets the y-axis.
