Function Transformations Review Package

Good morning, everyone! (Or afternoon, depending on when we're reading this in class.) 

Kyle Sarte here, alongside my blog-post-partner, Wandaly Gonzales, who will also be writing later on in this post.

I'm not here with a scribe, but:

A. An assignment
B. A worksheet
C. A quiz
D. A test
E. An exam
F. All of the above

Yes, an assignment-worksheet-quiz-test-exam hybrid!

Last night, I made my way through the archived Pre-Calculus provincial exams and compiled an assortment of questions dealing with the topics covered in our most recently completed unit, Function Transformations

I began with the links from 2010 and made my way up the calendar back to 2013, going through each exam and copying and pasting into a separate document every question I felt suitable for a test review. From the 8 booklets I reviewed, I gathered a total of 25 questions.

Questions concerning the stretches and inverses of a function, restricted domains, and the graphing of absolute value functions are some examples of the types of questions included in this review package. Because many of the questions were taken from different exams, the numbering of the questions is rather random - disregard this.

Now, enough about the process! Onto the review package! 

Below, I have provided two free download links (though, I could make a decent amount of cash for charging even just $1 for the download...). One of the links contains the review package in extension DOCX; a file type often associated with Microsoft Word. The other contains the package as a PDF. The text and graphics in the PDF version are much sharper than in the DOCX version, but you can take your pick. (If there are 2 file type choices in which a review package can be downloaded, in how many ways can...)


I will now pass this blog post to Wandaly, who has provided for everyone an answer key for the review package!

Since Kyle had already greeted you good morning and good afternoon, I might as well cover the good evening. 

Good evening, this is blog-post-partner Wandaly taking over.

It is not my turn to scribe either but Kyle and I wanted to share this package to help us prepare for the upcoming test. Even if we have failed to get some of these correct during our quizzes, as long as we practice over and over again, we're bound to get some right. Ha!

I've provided the answer key to the 12 page test.

P.S., Kyle, I believe the answer to your question is now 3c1, if we add my file.

Kyle here again, here to close off our blog post.

This review package is for everyone to download, view, and use. Pre-Calculus will only get more challenging and time-consuming as we progress throughout the semester. It is because of this that I believe any extra help we can all provide for each other is valuable; nobody wants to be left behind.

Wandaly and I can't promise that these review packages will appear consistently before every unit test, but we will try our best to put them together when we can.

This brings us to the end of this (rather lengthy) blog post. I wish everyone good luck on Friday's test!

Thanks for reading,

Kyle Sarte and Wandaly Gonzales

  1. I apologize but I saw an error in the answer key.

    On page 7, #21 -- the answer is b.) (-5, 6)
    The equation should be rewritten as y = f-(x-2)
    Therefore when you plug in (-3), it would be as:
    (-3)*(-1) = 3
    3 + 2 = 5

    Again, I apologize.
