Difficulties of comprehension and epistemic conflicts when making transformations in the representations of a function

This research was aimed to analyze epistemic conflicts that students have from eleventh grade to perform transformations with elements of a function. The sample comprised 85 eleventh grade students, aged between 16 and 18 years, from the Educational Institution San Vicente de Paul in the department...
