Answer: Shift the graph two units down and left one unit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the parent function,
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}[/tex]
When the function is shifted left by a factor a then the new function is,
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x+a}[/tex]
While when the function is shifted right by a factor A then new function,
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x-a}[/tex]
Since here the transformed function is, [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x+1} - 2[/tex]
Therefore it was obtained by shifting 1 unit towards left,
Now, when the parent function is shifted vertically upward by a factor a,
Then the new function is, [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}+a[/tex]
While, when the parent function is shifted vertically downward by a factor a,
Then the new function is, [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}-a[/tex]
Here, the transformed function is, [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x+1} - 2[/tex],
Therefore, it was obtained by shifting 2 unit downward.
Hence, Third Option is correct.
