Given the function f(x)= sqrt(x) graph the original function f(x) and the transformation g(x) = f(x+2)
a. Is this a horizontal or vertical change?
b. Which way is the graph shifted and by how many units?
c. Graph f(x) and g(x) on the same axes

Given the function f(x)= sqrt(x) graph the original function f(x) and the transformation g(x) = f(x+2)
a. Is this a horizontal or vertical change? 
b. Which way is the graph shifted and by how many units? 
c. Graph f(x) and g(x) on the same axes

I did graph it but my question is about the shift on the horizontal axis.  The answer is that it shifts to the left and I was thinking it would shift to the right if it was +2.
