Find its image point if it has the following transformations defined by $y=\sqr{4*f(x+3)+5}-2$ My solution it shifts left 3 units ... (-27,12) it is vertically expanded by 4 ... (-27,4 it shifts 5 units up ... (-27,53) the y coordinate is square-rooted ... (-27,$\sqrt{53}$) it shifts 2 units down ... (-27,$\sqrt{53}-2$) I don't have the answer for this question. Could someone please check and see if it is correct? Thanks.

Shouldn't that be a right shift...(-21,12) ?
