What is the domain of a radical function?

Back

The domain of a radical function is the set of all input values (x) for which the function is defined. For square root functions, this typically means the expression inside the radical must be non-negative.

What is a vertical stretch/compression in the context of radical functions?

Back

A vertical stretch occurs when the function is multiplied by a factor greater than 1, making the graph taller. A vertical compression occurs when multiplied by a factor between 0 and 1, making the graph flatter.
