when you have f(x) and f(x+1)

your f(x+1) gets there quicker, think of it that way
think your f() as a magic box

x+1, means you can put in 1 less than what you would of needed before to get the same thing?

this is all so because the +x is inside of the parenthesis

--
f(x) +1, 1 being outside means just simply whole thing gets shifted one up
