$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

The function is a reciprocal function.

\

The standard form of the reciprocal function is $\"\"$ .

\

Graph :

\

Graph of the reciprocal function $\"\"$ :

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

Now substitute $\"\"$ instead of $\"\"$ in the standard reciprocal function.

\

$\"\"$

\

So $\"\"$ .

\

Horizontal stretch : $\"\"$ , stretch the graph of $\"\"$ horizontally by a factor of $\"\"$ .

\

Vertical shift : $\"\"$ , shift the graph of $\"\"$ a distance $\"\"$ units downward.

\

Therefore, $\"\"$ is the graph of $\"\"$ stretched horizontally by a factor of $\"\"$ and shift $\"\"$ units downward.

\

Graph :

\

Graph of the function $\"\"$ .

\

(1) Draw the coordinate plane.

\

(2) Graph of the function $\"\"$ .

\

(3) The graph of $\"\"$ stretched horizontally by a factor of $\"\"$ and shift $\"\"$ units downward.

\

Graph of the function $\"\"$ is
