Using the graph of the function f(x) shown, sketch the graph of each transformed function.

A curve falls through (negative 3, 0) to a valley at (negative 1.5, negative 1), rises through the origin to a peak at (1.5, 1), and then falls through (3, 0). All points are approximate.

  1. f open x plus 1 close
  2. f open x close minus 2
  3. f open x plus 2 close plus 1
  4. negative 2 f open x close
  5. Graph all of the following functions in the same viewing window. After you enter each new function, view its graph.
    1. y equals , x squared
    2. y equals , x squared , plus 2
    3. y equals . open x plus 2 close squared
    4. y equals . open x minus 1 close squared . minus 4
    5. y equals , negative x squared , minus 2

    Based on your results, make a sketch of the graph of f open x close equals negative . open x plus 2 close squared . plus 1  and check your prediction on your calculator.
