Help!!
Which graph is an example of a function whose parent graph is of the form y = √x?

Answer 1

Hi!

Thanks for putting all the graphs.

I used my graphing calculator to find the graph.

The correct graph is the first one.

Answer 2

Correct option is first option.

Explanation:

We are given a radical function y = √x

We need to determine, which of the given option would be graph transformed function of parent function y = √x graph.

For the given parent function y = √x it would be curve that would be above the x-axis, because a square root function would have positive y values.

In the given options, we can clearly see that the graph in first option is being shifted 4 units left and 1 unit down.

Therefore, correct option is first option.
