This is the general formula of the transformation form of a function.

What is
(3+\sqrt(4/3),0),(3-\sqrt(4/3),0)?
The domain of the following function:

What is
[1/2,4)\cup(4,\infty)?
This is the function that is even, possesses the domain of
(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)
and behaves as the graph:
What is
f(x)=1/x^2
or the squared reciprocal function?
The formula of the transformed function:
What is
f(x)=\sqrt(3-x)?
(DAILY DOUBLE) This is the process in finding the domain of the function resulting in division:

What is determining the domain of f and g and excluding points where x = 0?
The inverse for the function:
f(x)=-root(3)(x+1)+2

The range of the inverse function for a given domain of the function:
[-3,2)\cup(2,\infty)
What is
[-3,2)\cup(2,\infty)?
(DAILY DOUBLE) This is the piecewise function of the following graph:
What is
f(x)={((x-4)^2, x<-2),(abs{x}-3,-2<=x<=2),(\sqrt{8-x},x>2):}
Why isn't there typically a horizontal scaling component B (in the transformation form) in a quadratic function?
Because it can be rewritten as a horizontal scaling component itself:
f(x)=x^2
f(2x)=(2x)^2
f(2x)=4x^2
where A = 4.
Consider the functions
f(x)=2+1/x, g(x)=x^2+5x
This is the domain of the composite function
(f\circg)(x)
What is
(-\infty,-5)\cup(-5,0)\cup(0,\infty)?
This graphical behavior is only observed when all the points from the inverse maps on the original function.
What is "the function is its own inverse", i.e.
f(x)=f^-1(x)?
A rancher has 240 feet of fence with which to enclose three sides of a rectangular pasture (the fourth side is a river and will not require fencing). The answer is the dimensions of the pasture with the largest possible area.
What is 120ft x 60ft?
