Question

The following diagram shows the graph of $y = f (x)$ $y = f\left( x \right)$ . The graph has a horizontal asymptote at $y = - 1$ $y = - 1$ . The graph crosses the $x$ $x$ -axis at $x = - 1$ $x = - 1$ and $x = 1$ $x = 1$ , and the $y$ $y$ -axis at $y = 2$ $y = 2$ .

On the following set of axes, sketch the graph of $y = {[f (x)]}^{2} + 1$ $y = {\left[ {f\left( x \right)} \right]^2} + 1$ , clearly showing any asymptotes with their equations and the coordinates of any local maxima or minima.
