The question is: if we begin a graph of f(x)=the square root of x,
\n" ); document.write( "y = sqrt(x)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "shift 4 units to the right,
\n" ); document.write( "y = sqrt(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "shrink vertically by a factor of 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/2)sqrt(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " , and shift upward 10 units,
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/2)sqrt(x-4)+ 10
\n" ); document.write( "==================================
