Step 1:

Write the parent function


y\text{ = }\sqrt[]{x}

Step 2:

The function was reflected across the y-axis


y\text{ = }\sqrt[]{-x}

Step 3:

Horizontal translation 5 units left


y\text{ = }\sqrt[]{-x\text{ - 5}}

Step 4:

A vertical stretch of 2


y\text{ = 2}\sqrt[]{-x\text{ - 5}}

Step 5:

Vertical translation 3 units up.


y\text{ = 2}\sqrt[]{-x\text{ - 5}}\text{ + 3}

Final answer

The transformation of the parent function is y-axis reflection, follow by horizontal translation to the left by 5 units and a vertical stretch of 2 units, and then a vertical translation of 3 units.


\text{y = }\sqrt[]{x}
