Translate the parent graph by
Explanation:
The parent function is
This trasformation belong to the family of the horizontal translations, which happens everytime you change from
In particular, you translate
In this case,
graph{sqrt(x) [-1, 20, -1, 5]}
graph{sqrt(x-1) [-1, 20, -1, 5]}
As you can see, the two graphs are identical, except for that
