the graph of y=square root of x is shifted 5 units up and 3 units to the left. which is the equation?

Question

campbell_st · Answer

well the shift up is simply caused by adding 5

$$y = \sqrt{x} + 5$$

anonymous · Answer

what bout the 3 units to the left?

campbell_st · Answer

well the equation 

$$y = \sqrt{x} $$  has a vertical asymptote at x = 0

so you need to make it move 3 left... 

so the vertical asymptote is x = -3

so then 

$$x \ne 3$$

rewrite it so its 0 on the right hand side, and that's what you need to take the square root of.

a)y=sqaure root x-3 +5 b) sqaure root of x+5 - 3 or c) sqaure root of x+3+5
