Question

Graph the function by hand, not by plotting points, but by starting with the graph of one of the standard functions and then applying the appropriate transformations.

y = 1/(x + 2)

 

Answer 1

Step 1:

The function .

Let the standard function is .

Add 2 units to x:

 

The graph of the standard function :

Step 2 :

To obtain the graph of , shift the graph of a distance c units to the left.

Shift the graph by 2 units to the left.

The graph of the function :

 

Solution :

The graph of the function :
