Graph an equation whose graph is the same as √ but shifted to the left 2 units and down 3 units

is the equation √ 2x-3

?

thanks
 
If only one could tell what is meant by that inline square root symbol. Anyway, it looks like you don't quite have it.

Graph: f(x) = sqrt(x)

Move f(x) left 2: g(x) = sqrt(x+2) <== Inside the square root

Move g(x) down 3: h(x) = sqrt(x+2) - 3 <== Outside the square root

I'm sorry, but your post is unintelligible. For instance, does "is the equation..." mean that "sqrt[something]" is the graph that you're shifting, or your final answer? Does "√ 2x-3" mean sqrt[2]x - 3, sqrt[2x] - 3, sqrt[3x - 3], some other root, or something else entirely?

Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise, the complete instructions, and a clear listing of the steps you have tried thus far. When you reply, please use LaTeX or grouping symbols to make your meaning clear. Thank you.

Eliz.
