Question

If the graph of 3x√ is shifted left 2 units, what is the equation of the translated graph?

Answer 1

The answer is 3square root (x+2)
Second option

Answer 2

• B. y = 3
  `√(x + 2)`

Explanation:

Horizontal shift of f(x) is f(x + a)

The shift is right if a < 0 and left if a > 0

The given function y = 3√x, will shift left if y = f(x + 2), which is:

• y = 3
  `√(x + 2)`

Correct choice is B
