Question

What is the vertical shift of the graph of the parent cosecant function to the graph of the function below?

A. 1 unit down
B. 2 units down
C. 3 units down
D. 4 units down

Answer 1

3 units down

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option: C is the correct answer.

C. 3 units down.

Explanation:

We know that the graph of a cosecant function has a minimum value for a upward open curve as : 1

It could be seen from the graph.

But here the minimum value of the upward open curve in the transformed function is: -2

This means that the vertical shift is given by:

-2-1=-3

This means that there is a vertical shift of 3 units down in the parent function.
