$Default$ Transform curve of a function f(x)

So, i've been trying to figure out how to solve the same topic for weeks

anyways Apply the following transformation to the curves with equations y=f(x)

i. $f(x)=x^2$ ii. $f(x)=x^3$ iii. $f(x)=1/x$

Transform $f(2x)$

Just do the algebra! If f(x)= x^2 then f(2x)= (2x)^2= 2^2x^2= 4x^2.
