Given the function

f(x)=cot(x+π/6)

which direction is the shift compared to the parent function?

the PLUS  pi/6  will shift the parent function to the LEFT

Hint:

 

Phase Shift: −π/6 (π/6 to the left)

Vertical Shift: 0

That would be where the numerator is first zero....where cos = zero    (because cot = cos/sin )

                                                                                                                   but shifted  :     pi/2 - pi/6 = pi/3
