Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A lot of math is about matching patterns.
For example, ...
g(x) = f(x -h) +k
means g(x) is the function f(x) translated right by h units and up by k units. This will be true for any expression of f(x).
__
In this problem, f(x) = √x. We want to translate it left 6 units (h=-6)*, and up 4 units (k=4).
The notation above means that we will replace x with (x-h) = x+6. and we will add k = 4 to the result.
f(x) = √x
g(x) = f(x+6) +4
g(x) = √(x+6) +4 . . . . . . matches choice D
_____
* Left is the opposite of right, so left 6 units is the opposite of right 6 units. h=6 for <em>right 6 units</em>, so h=-6 for <em>left 6 units</em>. Then x-h = x-(-6) = x+6.

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
I find it useful to see a picture with these things. In the attached graphing calculator output, the blue curve is left 6 and up 4 from the red curve. The blue curve is g(x); the red one is f(x).
Are you trying to find x, or are you only suppose to translate it?
If you are trying to find x, you first multiply 2x on both sides
100 = 10(2x)
Divide 10 on both sides
10 = 2x
Divide 2 on both sides
5 = x
