Given the graph of the key (parent) function $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$, graph the transformed function: $G(x) = \sqrt{-x} - 2$. State its transformations. Label 3 points on the transformed graph. Transformations: (1) (2) (4,2) (1, 1) (0,0)

Use translations to graph the given function. g(x) = √(x+2) - 5 The parent function for g(x) = √(x+2) - 5 is f(x) = √(x). The graph of g is the graph of f shifted 2 units to the left and 5 units downward. We can plot several "strategic" points as an outline for the new curve. The point (0, 0) on the graph of f corresponds to on the graph of g. The point (1, 1) on the graph of f corresponds to on the graph of g. The point (9, 3) on the graph of f corresponds to on the graph of g.

Graph each function using shifts of a parent function and a few characteristic points. Clearly state and indicate the transformations used and identify the location of all vertices, initial points, and/or inflection points. $$Y_{2}=3 \sqrt{-x+2}-1$$
