f of x to g of x by transformation using a graph

[fkr]

http://prntscr.com/1o982g

i do not want a direct answer but any help or direction would be appreciated. this is an online class and i love self teaching but I do not know where to start.

 

[fkr]

what i think i know

it is shifted to the right 5
it is flipped on the x axis

 

[fkr]

so to my further understanding:
f(x-5)
-f(x)

how would this be written out

 

[fkr]

is it as simple as
g(x)= -sqrt(x-5)

 

[fkr]

answer

-sqrt(x-5)+4

this is the correct answer however i have to get the kids up in 6 hours so i submitted. If only this site worked as well as stackoverflow.

It is not only shifted to the right 5, it is moved upward 4: f(x- 5)+ 4. And f is "flipped over"- g(x)= -f(x- 5)+ 4.

Is some aspect of the interface not functioning correctly for you? Or were you expecting paid staff to be waiting to provide on-demand responses within a few minutes of your first post? (Cuz we volunteers sleep, too. Sorry.)
