Answer

The red graph is the result. Domain: $(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ Range: $(-\infty,2)\cup(2,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$h(x)=\displaystyle \frac{4}{x}+2=4\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+2$ Starting with the graph of $y=\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}$ 1. Stretch vertically by a factor of 4 to obtain ... $y=\displaystyle \frac{4}{x}$ 2. vertically shift upward 2 units to obtain .... $y=\displaystyle \frac{4}{x}+2$ Plot several points of $\displaystyle \frac{1}{x},$ perform the transformations 1-2 on each, and join (red on the image). Reading from the graph, Domain: $(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ Range: $(-\infty,2)\cup(2,\infty)$
