Module 2: Radical Functions

 

Why did the applet used in Try This 3 use the form and not the form

 

Look at an example of two radical functions to help understand how the a and b parameters can both be used to describe stretches of radical functions.

 

Try This 4

 

You will look at the graphs of the function and to see how these two functions are related.

  1. Describe how to transform the graph of to produce the graph of the function
  2. Describe how to transform the graph of to produce the graph of the function
  3. Graph each of the two functions and Use a graphing calculator or graphing program; or graph them by hand.
  4. Are the two functions and equivalent? Explain your reasoning.
