How does the graph of mc016-1.jpg compare to the graph of the parent square root function?The graph is a horizontal shift of the parent function 2 units right.The graph is a horizontal shift of the parent function 2 units left.The graph is a vertical shift of the parent function 2 units up.The graph is a vertical shift of the parent function 2 units down.

The standard graph of the parent square root function shifted or transformed 2 units up or positive on the y-axis. Thus, the graph is a vertical shift of the parent function 2 units up. You can conclude that because the “y” is on the left side which means the vertical shift.
