Graphing Square Root Functions

Graphing square root and cube root equations

​

What order for transformations?

• Follow your order of operations

• First inside parenthesis or radicals - follow order of operations in here too!

• Second multiplication or division outside parenthesis or radicals

• Third addition or subtraction outside parenthesis or radicals

• Use these three points:

• (0,0)

• (1,1)

• (4,2)

• (0,6), (1,5), (4, 4)

Multiple Choice

 $f\left(x\right)=4\sqrt{x-2}-6$  What is the first transformation?

• vertical stretch: 4y

• shift right 2: x + 2

• shift down 6:  y - 6

Multiple Choice

What is the SECOND transformation for

 $f\left(x\right)=4\sqrt{x-2}-6$  

• vertical stretch: multiply y(4)

• shift down 6: y - 6

Multiple Choice

 $y=4\sqrt{x-2}-6$  1st transformation:  x + 2.  2nd transformation:  4y.  3rd transformation is shift down 6:  y - 6.  Parent function points (x, y) which become what?

• (x, 4y - 6)

• (x + 2, 4y - 6)

• (x+ 2, y)

Multiple Select

Transformations: (x+2, 4y - 6)

Parent function points: (0,0), (1,1), (4,2)

What are the new points?

• (3, -2)

• (6, 2)

• (2,-6), (3, -2), (6,2)

Multiple Choice

For the graph

 $f\left(x\right)=-3\sqrt{-2x}+1$  What is the first transformation?

• Vertical stretch and reflect over x axis:  -3y

• horizontal compression/reflect over y axis:  $\frac{x}{-2}$  

• shift up 1: y + 1

Multiple Choice

For the graph

$$f\left(x\right)=-3\sqrt{-2x}+1$$  What is the second transformation?

• Vertical stretch and reflect over x axis:  -3y

• horizontal compression/ reflect over y axis:   $$\frac{x}{-2}$$  

• shift up 1:   y + 1

Multiple Choice

For the graph

$$f\left(x\right)=-3\sqrt{-2x}+1$$  What is the third transformation?

• shift up 1:   y + 1

Multiple Choice

$$y=-3\sqrt{-2x}+1$$  

parent function points (0,0), (1,1), and (4,2).  The transformations are  $$\left(\frac{x}{-2},-3y+1\right)$$  

What are the new points?
