Question

Describe the transformation of the parent function.

Answer 1

Answer:

The parent function shifted right 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

When functions are transformed there are a few simple rules:

• Adding/subtracting inside the parenthesis to the input shifts the function left(+) and right(-).

• Adding/subtracting outside the parenthesis to the output shifts the function up(+) and down(-).

• Multiplying the function by a number less than 1 compresses it towards the x-axis.

• Multiplying the function by a number greater than 1 stretches it away from the x-axis.

The square root graph normally starts at (0,0) but on the graph it starts at (2,0). This means it has moved 2 units to the right.
