Answer:

Graph C.

Domain: [-1, ∞)

Range: [0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a function h(x) = f(x + c), we can say that the graph of h(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted c units to the left.

In this case, we have h(x) = √(x + 1), so, if the basic function is f(x) = √x, we can say that

h(x) = f(x + 1)

h(x) = √(x + 1)

Therefore, the graph of h(x) is the graph of y = √x shifted 1 unit to the left. So, the correct graph is C.

Then, the domain is the set of values that the variable x can take and the range is the set of values that h(x) can take. So, the domain and range of h(x) are

Domain: [-1, ∞)

Range: [0, ∞)
