Question

In this lesson, you learned how to transform square-root functions. Transformations may be: reflection (across the x- or y-axis); translation (horizontal or vertical); stretch (horizontal or vertical); or compression (horizontal or vertical). Suppose you start with a parent function f(x) = √x. Which of the four transformations is easiest for you to represent and which is the most difficult? Why? Give an example of a "child" of the parent function. Make sure you identify the transformation so your reader knows exactly what happened and include the words vertical or horizontal, if necessary.
