Graphing Cosecant and Secant Functions — Quiz

Question 10 • Algebra II

How is the graph of y is equal to cosecant of open paren x minus 6 close paren transformed from its parent function?

Answer
A
It is the graph of y is equal to cosecant of x shifted 6 units up.
B
It is the graph of y is equal to cosecant of x shifted 6 units down.
C
It is the graph of y is equal to cosecant of x shifted 6 units right.
D
It is the graph of y is equal to cosecant of x shifted 6 units left.

Explanation

In y = csc(x − 6), the subtraction is inside the input, so it shifts the parent graph horizontally. A function written as f(x − h) shifts h units to the right. Therefore, the graph is shifted 6 units right.
