Square Root Function Transformations

This video tutorial covers the transformations of square and cube root functions. It begins with an introduction to the standard form of square root functions and the significance of variables such as a, h, and k. The tutorial includes exercises on matching graphs with equations and graphing functions with translations. It also guides viewers on writing equations from graphed functions, emphasizing the importance of understanding vertex and shifts. The video concludes with practice exercises to reinforce learning.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Graphing linear functions

• Transformations of square and cube root functions

• Solving quadratic equations

• Understanding logarithmic functions

In the standard form of a square root function, what does the variable 'a' represent?

• Horizontal shift

• Vertical shift

• Reflection and stretch/compression

• Translation

How does a positive 'h' value affect the graph of a square root function?

• Moves the graph downwards

• Shifts the graph to the left

• Shifts the graph to the right

• Moves the graph upwards

What is the effect of a negative 'k' value on the graph?

• Reflects the graph over the y-axis

• Shifts the graph upwards

• Shifts the graph downwards

• Reflects the graph over the x-axis

Which graph matches the equation with a vertex at (0, -5)?

• Graph C

• Graph B

• Graph A

• Graph D

What is the vertex of the function with the equation y = a√(x - 3) + 1?

• (3, -1)

• (-3, -1)

• (3, 1)

• (-3, 1)

How do you determine the vertex of a square root function?

• By finding the maximum point

• By using the formula y = mx + b

• By identifying the point where the graph starts

• By calculating the midpoint

What transformation occurs when a function is shifted down one and left two?

• The graph reflects over the y-axis

• The graph moves down and left

• The graph moves up and right

• The graph reflects over the x-axis

In the final example, what unique transformation is applied to the function?

• It is compressed horizontally

• It is flipped over the y-axis

• It is flipped over the x-axis

• It is stretched vertically
