Answer

The red graph is the result. Domain: $[2,\infty)$ Range: $[1,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Starting with the graph of $y=\sqrt{x},$ 1. horizontally shift to the right 2 units to obtain ... $y=\sqrt{x-2}$ 2. vertically stretch by a factor of $2$ to obtain ... $y=2\sqrt{x-2}$ 3. vertically shift upward 1 unit to obtain ... $y=2\sqrt{x-2}+1$ Plot several points of $y=\sqrt{x},$ perform the transformations 1-3 on each, and join with a smooth curve ( red on the image). Reading from the graph, Domain: $[2,\infty)$ Range: $[1,\infty)$
