To sketch the given equations, we will start with the graph of the original function f(x) = 2/(x-2) + 2 and then apply the necessary transformations.

1. y = f(x-2):

To sketch y = f(x-2), we need to shift the graph of f(x) two units to the right. This can be done by replacing x in the equation f(x) with (x-2). The equation becomes y = f(x-2) = 2/((x-2)-2) + 2 = 2/(x-4) + 2.

2. y = f(x-1) - 3:

To sketch y = f(x-1) - 3, we need to shift the graph of f(x) one unit to the right and three units downward. This can be done by replacing x in the equation f(x) with (x-1) and subtracting 3 from the result. The equation becomes y = f(x-1) - 3 = 2/((x-1)-2) + 2 - 3 = 2/(x-3) - 1.

Now, let's plot these equations on a graph:

Note: The graph of the original function f(x) = 2/(x-2) + 2 should be sketched first before applying the transformations.
