QuestionIdentify the parent function for $g(x)=-\sqrt{-x}-8$ and its transformations: reflections, stretches, and shifts.

Studdy Solution
Similarly, there is no multiplication or division by a constant other than1 outside the square root operation, so there is no vertical stretch or compression.
So, to summarizea) The parent function is $y=\sqrt{x}$. b) The reflections are across the x-axis and the y-axis. c) There are no stretches or compressions. d) The vertical shift is units downward. e) There is no horizontal shift.
