The video tutorial covers graphing radical functions using transformations. It begins with an introduction to the concept of transformations and their impact on the basic shapes of radical functions. The tutorial explains the parameters a, b, c, and d, which affect the graph's position and shape. Two examples are provided: one for the square root function and another for the cubed root function, demonstrating how to apply transformations step-by-step.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Solving quadratic equations

• Understanding logarithmic functions

• Graphing radical functions using transformations

• Graphing linear functions

How does the square root function typically start?

• At (1,1)

• At (0,0)

• At (2,2)

• At (-1,-1)

What is a common feature of higher index radicals?

• They look like linear functions

• They resemble square and cube roots

• They have vertical asymptotes

• They are always decreasing

Which point is common to all radical transformations?

• (-1,-1)

• (2,2)

• (0,0)

• (1,1)

What does the parameter 'c' affect in a transformation?

• Vertical shift

• Vertical stretch

• Reflection

• Horizontal shift

If 'd' is positive, what happens to the graph?

• It shifts down

• It shifts up

• It reflects over the x-axis

• It reflects over the y-axis

What happens when the absolute value of 'b' is less than one?

• Vertical shrink

• Horizontal shrink

• Horizontal stretch

• Vertical stretch

What does a negative 'a' value cause?

• Horizontal stretch

• Reflection over the x-axis

• Reflection over the y-axis

• Vertical shrink

In Example 1, what is the first transformation applied?

• Vertical stretch

• Shift left

• Shift right

• Reflection

In Example 2, what does the negative sign in front of the cube root indicate?

• Shift up

• Reflection over the y-axis

• Shift down

• Reflection over the x-axis
