Given the description of the transformation from the function f to function g, write the function equation for g. graph the new function.
1. shift f(x) = cos(x) left pi units and up 5 units.
2. shift f(x) = sin(x) right pi/8 units and down pi units.
3. shift f(x) = cos(x) right 2pi/3 units and down 2pi units.
4. shift f(x) = sin(x) left 7/2 units and down 3 units.
5. shift f(x) = cos(x) right 4/5 units and up pi/6 units.

To solve this problem and similar problems, you need to know THESE rules.


    if you are given a function  u = f(x)  and its plot, then


        - function  v = f(x+a),  where a > 0,   has a plot shifted  " a "  units left   comparing with  u = f(x);

        - function  v = f(x-a),  where  a > 0,  has a plot shifted  " a "  units right  comparing with  u = f(x);


        - function  v = f(x) + b, where  b > 0,  has a plot shifted  " b "  units up    comparing with  u = f(x);

        - function  v = f(x) - b, where  b > 0,  has a plot shifted  " b "  units down  comparing with  u = f(x).



THEREFORE, the requested (transformed/shifted) functions are



(1)  y = cos(x + pi)    + 5.


(2)  y = sin(x - pi/8)  - pi.


(3)  y = cos(x - 2pi/3) -2pi.
