@IrishBoy123

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i agree with @3mar summat missing here what are b and h?

OpenStudy (angelemily):

no graph came with the question tho.

OpenStudy (danjs):

'a' would stretch or compress the function vertically 'b' would stretch or compress horizontal 'h' shift graph left or right 'k' shift up or down

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[a*f[b(x-h)]+k\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

for the function square root of x... \[\large y = a*\sqrt{b(x-h)}+k\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

@AngelEmily the question said: see the attach. Fix it, please

OpenStudy (danjs):

b=2 and h=8 , if 'a' is not given, assume it is a=1 if 'k' is not given, assume it is k=0 \[\large y=\sqrt{2*(x-8)}\]

OpenStudy (angelemily):

ok so would my answer be \[y= \sqrt{2x - 16}\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

DanJS explained it very well. Thanks, DanJS.

OpenStudy (3mar):

I like what you described DanJS. I love the origin!

OpenStudy (danjs):

right, it is shifted 8 units to the right from h=8, and since b>1 it is compressed horizontally by a factor of b=2

Thank you
