The parent function is [tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x}[/tex]
What is parent function ?
A parent function represents the collection of some functions, i.e. family of functions. It is the simplest form of a family of functions.
A parent function always maintain the same highest degree and the same shape in graph with family of the parent function.
What is the required parent function ?
The required parent function is [tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x}[/tex] i.e. [tex]y=\sqrt{x}[/tex]
What are the required transformations ?
To get the given equation f(x) = [tex]\sqrt{2x+6}-3[/tex]
We first multiply 2 with x, we get f(x) = [tex]\sqrt{2x}[/tex]
Then we move this 6 units to the left, we get f(x) = [tex]\sqrt{2x+6}[/tex]
Now, We have to go 3 units downwards, then f(x) = [tex]\sqrt{2x+6}-3[/tex]
Hence the given equation.
