We are given the following function:

$h(x)=\sqrt[]{x-3}+2$

To do a translation in the direction of the y-axis we need to add the units we want to translate to the entire function, as follows:

Where "k" is a constant. If "k" is positive the graph is translated in upwards and is "k" is negative the function is translated downwards.

Therefore, since in the function we add +2, this means that the graph is translated 2 units up.

When we do a translation in the x-direction we use the following transformation:
