As shown below:

Explanation:

The first thing we must consider is the transformations that csc x must undergo to reach 2+ csc(2x+2 )

So first it must be translated by (0,2) or in other words, shifted upward by 2 units: yielding 2+ cscx

Then stretched by a scale factor of 1/2 in the x direction:
yielding 2+csc(2x)

Then translate by the vector (-1,0) to yield: 2+csc(2(x+1))
= 2+ csc(2x+2)

=>

cscx: graph{cscx [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

2+cscx : graph{cscx + 2 [-9.71, 10.29, -2.32, 7.68]}

2+csc2x : graph{2+ csc(2x) [-9.71, 10.29, -2.32, 7.68]}

2+csc(2x+2) : graph{2+csc(2x+2) [-9.71, 10.29, -2.32, 7.68]}
