Answer:
The fourth (last) function is the correct one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the parent function y = √x, Its graph goes through (0, 0). On the other hand, if y = √(x - h), the graph goes through (h, 0) if h is positive, and the graph is translated h units to the right from the graph of y = √x. If h is negative, the graph is translated h units to the left.
In the four possible answers given, the values of h are {-4, 9, 5, -9}, in that order. h = -9 results in the graph that is positioned 9 units to the left of the graph of y = √x. This graph is furthest to the left. Thus the fourth choice is the correct one.
