Answer & Analysis
Answer
A
Analysis
From the graph, since the function is inverted compared to the parent function , there is a reflection across the -axis.
Also, it is half as tall, indicating a vertical compression by a factor of .
So the function becomes .
When the graph is shifted 3 units to the right, we replace with inside the square root function, resulting in
