This is a function where the parent function is the radical: $f(x)=sqrtx$ .

The transformations being done:

Thus, the only thing we have to do is to draw the base function $3$ units to the right, and then invert it vertically.

Here is a graph to check our work.

graph{-sqrt(x-3) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Hope this helps :)
