    Write the function so: f(x) = sqrt(x-2) + 1

    There are some information about the graph of a function that will help here.

    a) If you know the graph of a function f(x) then the graph of f(x) + k is the same graph moved k steps up if k is positive and k steps down if k is negative.

    b) If you know the graph of a function f(x) then the graph of f(x+k) is the same graph moved k steps to left if k is positive and k steps right if k is negative.

    Here it was used the tow property... the graph of f(x) = sqrt(x-2) +1 is the same graph of

    f(x) = sqrt(x) but 2 steps moved to right and 1 step moved to up.

    Graph the function f(x) = sqrt(x) and change the origin (0,0) to the point (2,-1) and graph the new x-axis and y-axis... OK!

    The domain of f(x) = sqrt(x-2) + 1 is x>=2 and the range is y>= -1 OK!
