How does the graph of y = sqrt x +2 compare to the graph of the parent square root function?

Option C is correct

the graph  is vertical shift of the parent function 2 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical shift:

To translate the parent function vertically, you can use the function:

.

When k > 0, the graph translated to k units up

When k < 0, the graph translated to k units down.

As per the statement:

Let the parent function be:

then;

the graph

By definition of vertical shift:

k = 2 > 0

Therefore, the graph  is vertical shift of the parent function 2 units up.

no he doesnt because "-16' is negatiive
