Learn how to graph the square root and cube root functions, along with general equations and transformations. Understand how to manipulate graph shapes and interpret domain and range.
E N D
Graph of the Square Root Note: We cannot graph imaginary numbers on the coordinate plane. Therefore, the graph stops at x = 0.
Graph of the Cube Root Note: Since the index number is odd, we can graph the function for all x values. Therefore, the domain is all reals.
The General Equation The general form of the square root function is The cube root function is
Add a positive positive number to x. Shift left h. Add a negative number to x. Add a positive number to the radical. Add a negative number to the radical. Shift right h. Up k. Down k.

Changing a a is greater than 1 a is greater than 0 and less than 1. a is less than 0.
Problems Describe how to obtain the graph of g from the graph of f. Shift left 5 units. Reflect in y = 0, shift down 10 units.
Problems State the domain and range. x > -6, y > 0 x, y all real numbers
