\The standard form of the reciprocal function is .
Graph :
\Graph of the reciprocal function :
The function is .
Now substitute instead of
in the reciprocal function.
.
So .
Horizontal shift : , shift the graph of
a distance
units to the left.
Therefore, is the graph of
shift to a distance
units to the left.
