Transformations Hep

Describe the sequence of transformations which maps
y=1/x^2to y= 2/(x+3)^2
translation (-3 0) on the axis stretch parallel to the y axis by a scale factor of 2
im not sure

Yes, although it would probably be slightly better to say an x-translation or shift by -3 and a (vertical) scaling by 2.
Original function
y = f(x)
Modified function
y = 2*f(x+3)
what level of study is this? a level maths or fm?

yep I'm with edexcel
but this isn't from the book
we get these questions set by teachers

Can you help me with this plz
f(x) = 3x-1
Find the values of x for which
f^-1 (x) = 5/f(x)
if 5/3x-1
0 = 5/3x-1
3x-1=5
6=3x
x=2
Is this right?

When
y = f(x) = 3x-1
* You find the inverse by finding x in tems of y.
* Then substitute y for x to get f^(-1)(x).
* Then equate to 5/f(x) and solve.
I don't think this is what you did?
