1st quadrant...

Lies on #y# - axis

Explanation:

enter image source here

Now sketching #y = sqrt(x-3) #: This is just # y= sqrt(x) # translated by 3 to the right...

enter image source here

enter image source here

So looking at this image we see that the fucntion #y = sqrt(x-3) # lies in the #color(red)("1st quadrant " #

And it #color(blue)("lies on the y axis at (3,0) " ) #
