Expert Solution
Step 1

the vertical translation is the movement of the function graph k units up or down from the basic function.

A vertical translation is done by adding or subtracting a value to the basic function.

Let the basic function be y=cos x then if the function has to be translated vertically up then k is added to the function thus y=cos x+k will give the same graph as y=cos x but the graph will be shifted k units vertically up.
