Shifting, Reflecting, Etc.

TRY IT:

Graph y = 3 square root( x - 1 )

 

Graph y = 1 / ( x - 2 ) ... It's 1 / x Guy! ... The shift is with the x... right to x = 2 ... 1 / ( 2 - 2 ) = 1 / 0

Graph of the 1 / x Guy shifted to the right 2
This dashed line is called an asymptote.  Graphs approach, but they don't touch!

 

YOUR TURN:

Graph y = 1 / ( x + 1 )^2
