Using translation concepts, the expression for h(x) is given as follows:

$h(x) = \sqrt{x + 4} - 1$

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

For this problem, the parent function is:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x}$

For the translations, we have that:

• It was shifted 4 units right, hence x -> x + 4.

• It was shifted 1 unit down, hence y -> y - 1.

Then the expression for h(x) is given as follows:

$h(x) = \sqrt{x + 4} - 1$
