Question

which of the functions is reflected across the \\(x\\)-axis and shifted to left from the parent function \\(y = \sqrt{x}\\)?

\\(y = -2\sqrt{x + 3}\\)
\\(y = 2\sqrt{x + 3}\\)

Explanation:

Analyze reflection across the x-axis

$$ y = -\sqrt{x} $$

Analyze horizontal shift to the left

$$ y = -\sqrt{x + c},\quad c > 0 $$

Match with the given options

$$ y = -2\sqrt{x + 3} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(y = -2\sqrt{x + 3}\) (Correct answer)
  • (B) \(y = 2\sqrt{x + 3}\)
