The function given is,


y=√(25x-125)+5

Let us rewrite the function


\begin{gathered} y=√(25(x-5))+5 \\ y=√(25)(√(x-5))+5 \\ y=5√(x-5)+5 \\ \therefore The\text{ transformed function can be rewritten as:} \\ y=5√(x-5)+5 \end{gathered}

The parent function is


y=5√(x)

The parent function was then translated horizontally to the right by 5units and also shifted up by 5units to obtain the equation.


y=5√(x-5)+5

Hence, the correct o
