    y=2f(x) -> stretch in the y-axis, scale factor 2, so yes, you multiply by 2.

    y=f(x)+2 -> translation by 1 unit in the positive y-direction.
    I think you mean 2 units for the last one.:cool:

    The way I did the proof was to say, if s(x) is odd the -s(x)= s(-x)
    So,
    -s(x)= -(f(x) + g(x))
    = -f(x) + - g(x)
    Since f(x) and g(x) are odd ( as you are told in the question)
    = f(-x) + g(-x)
    = s(-x)
    Hence odd
    The proof was standard I thought, basically, if s(x) =f(x) + g(x)

    It tells you both f(x) and g(x) are odd, so
    s(-x) = f(-x) + g(-x)
    = -f(x) - g(x)
    = - (f(x) + g(x)) = -s(x) so it's odd

    next part was f(x) * g(x) well two negative times together to get a positive, so it's positive and hence even.

    hhaha... how did you get your 1.5 ? cos i actually got -1.5 haha. im scared ive lost all the marks for the question
    I got -1.5 by integrating tangent, then integrating the original graph, then taking the area of the graph away from the tangent.
    Ah yeah sorry -1.5 because then when you taken them away you actually add, sorry I missed that slight detail there haha x
