From the given graph, let's identify the function which represents the graph.

The graph is the graph of a square root function.

Now, apply the parent function of a square root function:


f(x)=√(x)

We can see the parent function starts from the origin.

Comparing the given graph with the graph of the parent function, we can see there a shift 3 units to the left.

Now, apply the transformation rule for functions.

After a translation 3 units left, we have:


f(x)=√(x+3)

Therefore, the function represented by the graph is:


f(x)=√(x+3)

ANSWER: A


f(x)=√(x+3)
