Question

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

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