Sorry madam I can't help in this question.

OpenStudy (shamim):

i think it will b y+5=√(x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shifting horizontally is x-shift, so in this case 3 to the right is x-3, x+3 would be shifting 3 to the left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-3-5 then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but include the square root still so, \[y = \sqrt{x-3} -5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah i see, thank you much!
