Which could be the function graphed below

y= sqrt(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because the function is translated horizontally to the left.

The base function is y=sqrt(x)

The option A. f(x) sqrt (x-5) + 1, the graph should be translated horizontally 5 units to the right. It's not the case. And translated 1 unit vertically.

Option B. f(x) = sqrt (x-2) the graph should be translated horizontally 2 units to the right. It's not the case.

Option C. f(x) = sqrt(x), the graph should start at x=0. It's not the case.

The option D.  f(x) = sqrt(x+4), the function is translated 4 times horizontally to the left. So this is the case.

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

The parent function is

This parent function has been shifted to the left, hence its transformation is of the form,

The only option in this form is the last option,

a = 3.14

b = 18

c = 18/5 or 3.6 or 3 3/5
