Chapter 10 Square Root Functions and Geometry
Model Graph of a Square Root • Use a x, y table to graph it
Domain of a Square Root Function • Radicand cannot be negative • Set the radicand ≥ 0 • Solve for x
Shifts in Square Root Graphs Vertical Shift: *Notice K is NOT under the square root *Move the graph up k units if positive *Move the graph down k units if negative
Explain the Shift Move the graph 6 units down
Shifts in Square Root Graphs Horizontal Shifts: Right h units: Left h units: Notice it is all under the square root sign
Explain the shift of Five units to the left
Compare the graph of • Under the x axis • Translate one unit to the left • Translate 3 units down
A radical is simplified when: • The radicand contains no perfect square factors. • A fraction cannot have a radical in the denominator. • Radicand cannot include a fraction.
Rationalizing the denominator YOU CAN NOT HAVE A RADICAL IN THE DENOMINATOR!! To get rid of it multiply by the radical over itself
