Question

To obtain the graph of $y=\frac{1}{x+2}$?

• A. Shift the given graph to the right by 2 units
• B. Shift the given graph to the right by 1 units
• C. Shift the given graph to the left by 2 units
• D. Shift the given graph to the left by 1 units

Answer 1

The correct option is C Shift the given graph to the left by 2 units

The graph of $f(x+a)$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $f\left(x\right)$ to left by a units.

Hence, $f(x+2)$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $f\left(x\right)$ to left by $2$ units
