To go from
[tex]y=\sqrt[]{x}[/tex]
to
[tex]y=2\sqrt[]{-x-5}+3.[/tex]
First, we reflect over the y-axis, and get:
[tex]y=\sqrt[]{-x}\text{.}[/tex]
Second, we translate horizontally 5 units to the right, and get:
[tex]y=\sqrt[]{-x-5}.[/tex]
Third, we stretch vertically by a scale factor of 2, and get:
[tex]y=2\sqrt[]{-x-5}.[/tex]
Finally, we translate vertically 3 units up, and get:
[tex]y=2\sqrt[]{-x-5}+3[/tex]
Answer: The function is reflected over the y-axis, translated horizontally 5 units to the right, stretched vertically by a scale factor of 2, and finally translated vertically 3 units up.
