Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the transformation

The graph of g is a horizontally shifted version of the graph of f. Specifically, it has been shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units down.

Step 2: Write the transformation mathematically

A horizontal shift to the right by 2 units changes the x to x-2 inside the square root. A vertical shift downwards by 4 units subtracts 4 from the function's output.

Step 3: Write the equation for g(x)

Combining the transformations, we get g(x) = √(x-2) - 4

Final Answer

g(x) = √(x-2) - 4
