National 5 Working with the graphs of trigonometric functions Translation (sliding a curve along an axis) Trigonometric graphs can be sketched when you know the amplitude, period, phase and ...

The graph of y = f (x) where f (x) = x 2 is the same as the graph of y = x 2. Writing equations as functions in the form f (x) is useful when applying translations and reflections to graphs.

But just how does translation work? In other words, how does the cell read and interpret the information that is stored in DNA and carried in mRNA? The answer to this question lies in a series of ...
