Remembering

Remembering Transformations: I remember transformations in an easy way.
1st. If its in parenthesis, it is going left or right according to the symbol. (when its a -negative, then it is going right but if its a positive+ then it goes to the left.)
2nd. When there is a number added or subtracted to the end of the equation without parenthesis, the graph of the line or equation is gonna go up or down corresponding to its sign. (meaning that if its negative its gonna go down, and if its positive its gonna shift up.)
3rd. Finally, when there is a negative before the equation, the equation is gonna be flipped about the y=0 line and you will get the reflection of the parent function.

Trigonometry: 2nd and 3rd question combined...
Honestly trig. passed me like crazy, i went from trig. A and learning only up to chapter 3, then to Ms. Gapacs class starting on chapter 6.3. (therefore i skipped 3 whole chapters where she introduced the whole unit circle topic. This made learning anything 1000x harder!!!) I don't really remember any short cuts or tips. sorry=(
I know that there are easy ways for short cuts in trig. but i always had to do catching up instead of learning short routes. thanks for undertstanding....!!!!=)
