Q. (b) Describe fully a sequence of transformations which transform the graph of y=2x21 y=\frac{2}{x^{2}-1} to the graph of y=6+44x21 y=6+\frac{4}{4 x^{2}-1}
  1. Analyze original function: We start by analyzing the original function y=2x21y = \frac{2}{x^2 - 1}.
  2. Vertical shift and addition: The first transformation we notice is the addition of 66 to the entire function. This is a vertical shift upwards by 66 units.\newliney=2x21y = \frac{2}{x^2 - 1} becomes y=6+2x21y = 6 + \frac{2}{x^2 - 1}.
  3. Vertical stretch by factor: Next, we observe that the numerator of the fraction has changed from 22 to 44. This is a vertical stretch by a factor of 22. \newliney=6+2x21y = 6 + \frac{2}{x^2 - 1} becomes y=6+4x21y = 6 + \frac{4}{x^2 - 1}.
  4. Horizontal compression by factor: Then, we see that the denominator has changed from (x21)(x^2 - 1) to (4x21)(4x^2 - 1). This is a horizontal compression by a factor of 12\frac{1}{2}, since the x2x^2 term is multiplied by 44.y=6+4x21y = 6 + \frac{4}{x^2 - 1} becomes y=6+44x21y = 6 + \frac{4}{4x^2 - 1}.
  5. Check for horizontal or vertical shift: Finally, we need to check if there is any horizontal or vertical shift associated with the change in the denominator from (x21)(x^2 - 1) to (4x21)(4x^2 - 1). Since the constant term in the denominator remains 1-1, there is no horizontal or vertical shift associated with this change.
