Math Problem Statement

The graph of y = f(x) is shown to the right. Sketch the graph of y = f(x) + 2, labelling the coordinates of the maximum point.

Solution

The problem asks to sketch the graph of y=f(x)+2y = f(x) + 2 based on a given graph of y=f(x)y = f(x), and label the coordinates of the maximum point.

The transformation y=f(x)+2y = f(x) + 2 is a vertical shift upwards by 2 units. So, every point on the original graph y=f(x)y = f(x) will be shifted upwards by 2 units, including the maximum point.

Steps:

  1. Identify the coordinates of the maximum point on the original graph y=f(x)y = f(x).
  2. Apply the transformation by adding 2 to the yy-coordinate of the maximum point.
  3. Sketch the new graph by shifting all points on y=f(x)y = f(x) vertically by 2 units.
  4. Label the coordinates of the new maximum point.

Please upload the graph or provide further information if you need a specific example or calculation of the maximum point. Would you like further details on how vertical shifts affect graphs?

Here are five related questions you might explore:

  1. What effect does subtracting a constant have on the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x)?
  2. How do horizontal shifts affect a graph?
  3. Can you describe how y=f(x)y = -f(x) transforms the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x)?
  4. What happens if the transformation involves multiplying f(x)f(x) by a constant?
  5. How would a reflection over the xx-axis impact the graph?

Tip: When transforming graphs, always adjust points systematically based on the transformation rule (up/down for vertical shifts, left/right for horizontal shifts).
