Question

If you shift the reciprocal parent function, F(x)= 1/x, down 2 units, what is the equation of the new function?

Answer 1

Explanation:

G(x)=1/x -2

Answer 2

`F(x) = (1)/(x) - 2`

Explanation:

Shifting a function down two units is doing the following operation:

`F(x) = F(x) - 2`.

In this case, we have that:

`F(x) = (1)/(x)`

So, shifting down 2 units, the equation of the new function is:

`F(x) = (1)/(x) - 2`
