Stretch/shrink____________ Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
I will presume you mean . It's more interesting than
Even (especially?) when writing the expression in words, appropriate use of parentheses is important.
Replacing x with x-3 produces a horizontal shift of +3. ( when x=0; when x=3).
ANSWER A: Horizontal shift: +3
Replacing the square root with -square root reflects the graph over the x-axis; there is no vertical stretch.
ANSWER B: Reflections: x-axis
The +7 at the end of the expression produces a vertical shift of +7.
ANSWER C: Vertical shift: +7
For stretch/shrink, I will guess you mean horizontally. There is no horizontal stretch or shrink; that would happen if, for example, x were replaced with 3x, or with x/4.
