$$P(x, y) = (x + 1, y - 1)$$ $$Q(x, y) = (2x, 3y)$$ 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 $u$.
