is this correct?

Answer 3

Answer 4

@Hero

Answer 5

Im confused, if the under is in parenthesis or under a sqrt it is the oposite correct?

Answer 6

Yep, this one always trips students up. The "shift" is taking place along the x-axis.

Answer 7

okay so the answer is Shift the graph of f left 7 units, because that really mean +7 instead of -7

Answer 8

There's a way to think about it, but this isn't exactly the right platform to demonstrate it.

Answer 9

Thanks for clearing it up for me
