Question

If the parent function is √x, describe the translation of the function.√x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

The translation is one unit down from $y = \sqrt{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is $y = \sqrt{x}$ ............ (1)

And the translated function is $y = \sqrt{x} - 1$ ............ (2)

Now, we have to describe the translation.

The value of y in the equation (2) is one less than that value in equation (1).

Therefore, the translation is vertical {Since, the y-value changes} and it is by one unit down.

Hence, the translation is one unit down from $y = \sqrt{x}$. (Answer)
