The function is .
Take out negative one as a common factor.
\Complete the square.
\The function is a power function.
\The standard form of the power function is .
Graph :
\Graph of the power function :
\
The function is .
Now substitute instead of
in the power function.
.
So .
Horizontal shift : , shift the graph of
a distance
units to the left.
Reflection : , reflect the graph of
about the
axis.
Vertical shift : , shift the graph of
a distance
units upward.
Therefore, is the graph of
shift
unit to the left and after that reflect about
axis.
Next shift to a distance of units upward.
Graph :
\Graph of the function .
(1) Draw the coordinate plane.
\(2) Graph of the function .
(3) Shift the graph of to a distance of
unit to the left
(4) After that reflect the graph of about the
axis.
(5) Now shift the graph of to a distance of
units upward.
