Answer:
The translation is one unit down from [tex]y = \sqrt{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function is [tex]y = \sqrt{x}[/tex] ............ (1)
And the translated function is [tex]y = \sqrt{x} - 1[/tex] ............ (2)
Now, we have to describe the translation.
The value of y in the equation (2) is one less than that value in equation (1).
Therefore, the translation is vertical {Since, the y-value changes} and it is by one unit down.
Hence, the translation is one unit down from [tex]y = \sqrt{x}[/tex]. (Answer)
