Given a = -1, h = 4, and k = -2, what is the equation of the graph if the parent function is y equals the square root of x?

myininaya (myininaya):

I don't know what a,h, and k stand for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the radical formula but for square roots

myininaya (myininaya):

I need you to explain what a,h, and k represent.

myininaya (myininaya):

like is it like \[y=a \sqrt{x-h}+k\] or \[y=a\sqrt{x+h}-k\] or\[y=h \sqrt{x-a}+k\] there is so many different things I could say a,h ,and k are

myininaya (myininaya):

This question makes no sense unless you define what a,h, and k are There are not universal understand on these values

myininaya (myininaya):

understanding*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes is tht

myininaya (myininaya):

The first one: \[y=a \sqrt{x-h}+k\] ?

myininaya (myininaya):

well if this is it and you are asked to find the equation then you have your work cut out for you

myininaya (myininaya):

since a,h, and k are given

myininaya (myininaya):

and all you have to do is replace the letters in that equation above

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Good job explaining @myininaya
