Reflection
is a reflection of through the x axis.
is a reflection of through the y axis.
is a reflection of when y < 0, through the x-axis.
is a reflection of when x < 0, through the y-axis.
is a reflection of through the line y = x.Note: exists only if is bijective, that is, one-to-one and onto.
Stretching
is stretched toward the x-axis if and stretched away from the x-axis if . In both cases the change is by a units.
is stretched away from the y-axis if and stretched toward the y-axis if . In both cases the change is by b units.
Translations
is a translation of f(x) by h units to the right.
is a translation of f(x) by h units to the left.
is a translation of f(x) by k units upwards.
is a translation of f(x) by k units downwards.
Natural Functions
, where y(t) is the final value, is the initial value, k is the growth constant, t is the elapsed time.
, k for calculations involving half-lives.

Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions and their Inverses
Angle Sum and Difference Identities
Note: The sign means that if you add the angles (A+B) then you subtract in the identity and vice versa. It is present in the cosine identity and the denominator of the tangent identity.
Double Angle Identities
