You should practice your graph-sketching skills then, simple ones like these shouldn't be taking "too long", once you have some intuition and understanding down, then you can stop drawing graphs everytime you have one of these questions, for now - draw the graphs, seriously.


ah ok

what's the difference between

1x+1\dfrac{1}{x+1}

and

1x+1\dfrac{1}{x} +1

The obvious one, they're two different expressions. It's like asking what's the difference between 11+1=12\frac{1}{1 +1} = \frac{1}{2} and 11+1=2\frac{1}{1} + 1 = 2, they're two different numbers.

so the one of the top moves the graph left by 1 unit and the other one moves the graph up by 1 unit?

The graph of y=1/x clearly.

Yes, but it's important that you always mention what graph you're transforming.
