-$f(x)=\sqrt{x}, g(x)=\sqrt{x-1}$

A) $g$ shifts the graph of $f 1$ unit to the right 
B) g shifts the graph of $f 1$ unit to the left 
C) g shifts the graph of $f$ vertically up 1 unit 
D) g shifts the graph of $f$ vertically down 1 unit

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph of g is obtained by shifting the graph of f to the right by 1 unit. This is because the x-coordinate of every point on the graph of g is 1 more than the x-coordinate of the corresponding point on the graph of f.
