The parent function f(x) has
a square root function with a domain of x greater than or equal to 0
and a range of y greater than or equal to 0
First, what do we know about f(x)?
Now look at the changes that g(x) introduces into the graph.
(x-7) inside the square root causes a horiztonal shift of 7 units to the right
Having a coefficient of -7 gives a vertical compression by a factor of 7
Summary:
​
g(x) is obtained by applying a horizontal shift of 7 units to the right and a vertical compression by a factor of 7 to f(x)
