Math Problem Statement

Solve using higher maths and sketch graphs

Solution

The problem involves understanding and sketching graphs based on the given conditions.

Problem Summary:

  1. Given Function: y=g(x)y = g(x) (part of the graph is shown).
  2. Key Points: The function has stationary points at x=1x = 1 and x=3x = 3, and this is reflected in the graph provided.
  3. Tasks:
    • Sketch the graph of the related functions:
      • y=g(x)+2y = g(-x) + 2
      • y=g(x1)y = -g(x - 1)

Solution Steps:

1. Understanding Transformations:

  • y=g(x)+2y = g(-x) + 2:

    • Reflection: The function is reflected across the y-axis due to the g(x)g(-x).
    • Vertical Shift: The entire graph is shifted 2 units up due to the +2+2.
  • y=g(x1)y = -g(x - 1):

    • Horizontal Shift: The function is shifted 1 unit to the right due to the (x1)(x - 1).
    • Reflection: The function is reflected across the x-axis due to the g(x)-g(x).

2. Sketching the Graphs:

  • y=g(x)+2y = g(-x) + 2:

    • Start by reflecting the original graph across the y-axis.
    • Then, shift the entire graph 2 units upwards.
  • y=g(x1)y = -g(x - 1):

    • Start by shifting the original graph 1 unit to the right.
    • Then, reflect the graph across the x-axis.

Graph Sketches:

  • For y=g(x)+2y = g(-x) + 2:

    • Reflect the graph horizontally and then move it up.
    • The stationary points that were originally at x=1x = 1 and x=3x = 3 would now be at x=1x = -1 and x=3x = -3 respectively, and their yy-coordinates would be increased by 2.
  • For y=g(x1)y = -g(x - 1):

    • Shift the graph 1 unit to the right, then reflect it vertically.
    • The stationary points that were originally at x=1x = 1 and x=3x = 3 would be moved to x=2x = 2 and x=4x = 4 respectively, with their yy-coordinates being inverted.

These transformations can be applied step by step to ensure that the graphs are accurately sketched.
