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).
