5. Graph the following function using transformations. Start with the basic function and graph all stages on a single coordinate plane. Submit your graph.
f(x)=1/2x^4+4
...
Graphs and color as follows:
Basic function, x^4 (red)
(1/2)x^4 (green) Adding coefficient of 1/2. The smaller the coefficient the wider the curve.
(1/2)x^4+4 (blue) Bump curve up 4 units
-((1/2)x^4+4) (purple) Reflect around x-axis
