1. Answer: Vertical shift up 3 units and vertical stretch by factor of 2
Explanation:
f(x) = √x
g(x) = 2√x + 3
- adding 3 is a vertical shift up 3 units
- multiplying by 2 is a vertical stretch by factor of 2
2. Answer: Domain: [0, ∞)
Range: [3, ∞)
Explanation:
g(x) = 2√x + 3
Domain: The restriction on "x" is that the radical must be greater than or equal to 0. So, x ≥ 0 Interval Notation: [0, ∞)
Range: Since the radical must be greater than or equal to 0, then 2√x is also greater than or equal to 0. Add 3 to that and y ≥ 3. Interval Notation: [3, ∞)
