## anonymous one year ago Which of the following describes how to translate the graph y = sqrt x to obtain the graph of y = sqrt x - 4? 4 units up 4 units down 4 units left 4 units right

Hey there :) First lets draw out the graph of $y=\sqrt{x}$ is it possible you could do that for us?

If you are not sure, a good way to graph such a function is by making a table of values (picking x and y values and plotting them).

is it the last one?

9. anonymous

Why do you say that? Like I said if you graph it out it will be clear

|dw:1433308216354:dw| if we use negative numbers it will be complex so for now this is all we need, so can you fill out this table for $y=\sqrt{x}$

You should be able to do this easily, I've looked over the many questions you've asked and it's a bit troubling, I am not accusing you of cheating but it seems you are more interested in the answer than the process itself.
