Graphing Square Root Functions with Transformations

This lesson covers graphing square root functions using transformations. It begins with a review of square roots and transformations, explaining rigid and non-rigid transformations. The lesson clarifies common misunderstandings about evaluating square roots, focusing on principal roots. It then demonstrates graphing square root functions using a t-table, discussing the domain and range. Finally, it applies transformations to square root functions, explaining horizontal and vertical shifts.

Why does the square root function have a definite stopping point?

What is the domain and range of the square root function?

Describe the transformations applied to the function G of x equals the square root of x minus 3 plus 2.
