Write a formula for the function $g(x)$ obtained when the graph of $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ is shifted up 1 unit and to the left 8 units.
\(\boxed{g(x)=\sqrt{x+8}+1}\) is the final answer.
Step 1 :Given the function \(f(x)=\sqrt{x}\).
Step 2 :The graph of \(f(x)\) is shifted up 1 unit and to the left 8 units to obtain the function \(g(x)\).
Step 3 :The formula for the function \(g(x)\) is then \(g(x)=\sqrt{x+8}+1\).
Step 4 :\(\boxed{g(x)=\sqrt{x+8}+1}\) is the final answer.
