Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given the function , and we need to find a new function based on shifts to the graph of .
The graph of is:
Now, we are told that is obtained by shifting up by 6 units and right by 1 unit.
Step 1: Shifting Right by 1 Unit
Shifting a graph to the right by 1 unit means replacing with . So, the function becomes:
Step 2: Shifting Up by 6 Units
Shifting a graph up by 6 units means adding 6 to the function. Therefore, we add 6 to the previous expression:
Final Answer:
Let me know if you would like further details or have any questions.
Here are five related questions for further practice:
- What is the effect of shifting a graph down by 4 units instead of up?
- How would the formula change if the graph was shifted left by 2 units?
- What happens to the graph of if it is reflected over the x-axis?
- How would you shift left by 3 units and down by 5 units?
- Can you describe the transformations that occur if is scaled vertically by a factor of 3?
Tip: To shift a graph horizontally, you change the input by adding or subtracting inside the function, while vertical shifts involve adding or subtracting directly from the function itself.
