edited transform.py and modified test_transform.py

I was getting errors when running test_transform.py not because of transform.py
(I think) but instead because of how the arguments were being passed into the
functions within. I removed the list-in-a-list from the clamp(), ratio(), and
scale() tests and things seem to be working as expected.

A lot of the extra thinking for checkpoint 2 was related to my attempt to avoid
overthinking the problem. I found myself more than once starting to rewrite functions
that I had already made, so upon taking another look at my plan, I realized the
easier route would be to use things like the clamp() or minimum() function, for example,
in order to save myself time and possible hard-to-diagnose bugs later on. Keeping
with the theme of top-down design, breaking the problem up into smaller, simpler pieces
also makes things easier to test as progress is made. The biggest strategy I employed
was writing down, in English/pseudocode, what I wanted to do, then as I started to write
out my code, I would explain to myself what was supposed to happen, which is where I
started to go back to my previous functions to continue using them in the next function
to be made.
