Answer: 

Start with the parent function 
 which is a V shape graph that has its vertex at (0,0) and it is the lowest point. Every point has a positive y coordinate other than the vertex of course.

Reflect over the y axis to get 
 , so now everything is negative or below the x axis, other than the vertex point.

Lastly, shift everything up 1 unit by adding 1 onto the right side getting
