Writing the transformations of a square root function

The video tutorial explains how to read and understand transformations in mathematical functions. It covers three main transformations: reflection across the X-axis, vertical stretch, and horizontal shift. The instructor emphasizes the importance of specifying whether a transformation is vertical or horizontal, especially when discussing compressions and stretches. The tutorial also clarifies the role of negative values in transformations, highlighting that they indicate reflection rather than other types of transformations.
