A. Shift the graph of f left by 10 units.
B. Shift the graph of f right by 10 units.
C. Shift the graph of f up by 10 units. (because of the +10 tacked on at the end)
D. Shift the graph of f down by 10 units.
E. Shift the graph of f left by (1/12), unit.
F. Shift the graph of f right by (1/12), unit.
G. Shift the graph of f up by (1/12), unit.
H. Shift the graph of f down by (1/12), unit.
I. Shift the graph of f left by 3 units.
J. Shift the graph of f right by 3 units. (because of the x-3 in the radicand)
K. Shift the graph of f up by 3 units.
L. Shift the graph of f down by 3 units.
M. Reflect the graph of f over the x-axis.
N. Reflect the graph of f over the y-axis.
