Answer:


y=- \sqrt{(1)/(2)x}

Explanation:

Parent functions are the simplest form of a given family of functions.

Transformations of graphs (functions) is the process by which a function is moved or resized to produce a variation of the original (parent) function.

Transformations


\begin{aligned} y=f(ax) \implies &amp; f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed horizontally by a factor of} \: a \\ &amp; \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a \\ &amp; \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a \end{aligned}


y=-f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: x \textsf{-axis}

Given parent function:


y=√(x)

Horizontal stretch:

As this is a horizontal stretch, the x variable should be multiplied by a value between zero and 1:


\implies y= \sqrt{(1)/(2)x}

Reflected in the x-axis:

To reflect a function in the x-axis, simply make the function negative:


\implies y=- \sqrt{(1)/(2)x}
