Answer:


h(x)=2(x + 3)^{(1)/(2) }

Explanation:

Parent function of the square root function has been given as,

f(x) =
x^{(1)/(2) }

If the graph of the given function is stretched vertically by the scale factor = g(x) =
k(x^(1)/(2))

If the graph is shifted 3 units to the left,

h(x) =
k(x + 3)^{(1)/(2) }

Since, the graph of the function passes through a point (-2, 2),


2=k(-2 + 3)^(1)/(2)

2 = k

Therefore, the function is
h(x)=2(x + 3)^{(1)/(2) }.
