Question

The equation of this transformed square root graph???

Answer 1

How do I find the horizontal or vrrtical stretch compression?

Answer 2

the transformation of sqrt x to - sqrt(x + 2)
consists of
a reflection in the x-axis
followed by a translation of 2 units to the left

Answer 3

@cwrw238 so no compression??

Answer 4

How about this cubic functiin?

Answer 5

@ganeshie8

Answer 6

im having trouble with find the compression/stretch

my teacher has the answer of y=1/4(x-3)^3-1
which is the same thing has 2(1/2(x-4))63-1

Answer 7

for the first graph of radication function, you should get :
\[\large y = -\sqrt{x-2}\]

right ?

Answer 8

*radical function

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

i thought it looks like it was stretched though?

Answer 11

Oh you mean something like this :
\[\large y = -a\sqrt{x-2}\]

?

Answer 12

you can find the value of \(\large a\) by simply plugging a point on the graph

Answer 13

wait one sec

Answer 14

k

Answer 15

i plug it one of the other functions and how do i solve for a until here?

-1= -a (sqrt1)+3?
