Question

State the parent function of the equation y = 1+3square root of x+2 and the transformation that were applied

Answer 1

\[y = 1+3\sqrt{x+2}\]

Answer 2

@cwrw238 Think you could help me out? :)

Answer 3

@jim_thompson5910 Can you help?

Answer 4

Start with y = sqrt(x)

Then shift 2 units to the left to get y = sqrt(x+2)

Then stretch it vertically by a factor of 3 ----> y = 3*sqrt(x+2)

Then shift 1 unit up ----> y = 1 + 3*sqrt(x+2)

Answer 5

I'm lost at the first part. :/ What's sqrt?

Answer 6

sqrt(x) means \(\Large \sqrt{x}\) "square root of x"

Answer 7

it's short hand for writing "square root of " everytime

Answer 8

Haha, ok.
