Don’t freak out… • YOU learned the basics to graphing last unit. • This is just reinforcement!
Square Root Functions • Square root function is the inverse of the quadratic function. • When graphing a square root function, determine when the radicand would be negative and exclude those values from the domain.
Graph a Square Root Function 1. Graph a square root function 2. Determine the domain and range of the function.
Transformations of Square Root Functions Basic equations for the square root function: h translates the graph horizontally. k translates the graph vertically.
You tell me… • What would placing a negative sign in front of the radical do? • What would placing a number like 2 in front of the radical do?

Analyze situations and formulate a square root equation to solve problems A lookout on a submarine in h feet above the surface of the water. The greatest distance d in miles that the lookout can see on a clear day is given by the square root of the quantity h multiplied by . A ship is 3 miles from a submarine. How high would the submarine have to raise its periscope in order to see the ship?
