Question

How does the graph of y = cos(x - 2) 3 compare with the graph of y = cos(x) ?

Answer 1

You shift right 2 units and up 3 if there was a plus sign for cos(x-2) + 3

Explanation:

Think of it like this

(x-2)^2 is shifting right 2

(x+2)^2 is shifting left 2

Always like this

if it's outside the parenthesis

move up or down according to the sign.

Cheers.
