Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a curve with equation y = f (x)
The curve
• passes through the point A (–1, 0)
• has a maximum turning point at B (2, 7)
• has a horizontal asymptote with equation y = 3
On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation
(i) y = f (x + 2)

On each diagram, show clearly the coordinates of the points to which A and B are
transformed and the equation of the asymptote.
