How does replacing f(x) by f(x) + 4 in y = f(x) affect the graph of y = f(x)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "If you start with y=f(x) as a graph
\n" ); document.write( "and you then graph y=f(x)+4 you are
\n" ); document.write( "changeing all the y-values. Each
\n" ); document.write( "y-value from the 1st graph is increased
\n" ); document.write( "by 4. Thus you get a graph that is
\n" ); document.write( "4 higher.\r
