SAT Math· difficulty 3/5

The graph of y=xy = \sqrt{x} is shifted 4 units down. Which equation represents the new graph?

  • A

    y=x+4y = \sqrt{x} + 4

  • B

    y=x+4y = \sqrt{x + 4}

  • C

    y=x−4y = \sqrt{x - 4}

  • D

    y=x−4y = \sqrt{x} - 4

Explanation

Down shift by 4: subtract 4 from the function: y=x−4y = \sqrt{x} - 4.
