6.3 – Square Root Functions and Inequalities Day 1

Vocabulary: Square Root Function – a function that contains the square root of a variable. - A type of radical function.

Domain of Square Root Functions: Domain: (What type of #’s can/cannot be underneath a square root???) • # CANNOT be negative, so… the # (or expression) has to be > 0!

Range of Square Root Functions: Range: (What type of #’s will result from square rooting a #???) • Answers WILL NOT be negative, so… the y-values resulting from the square root function have to be > 0!

Example 1: Identify the domain and range of

Example 2: Identify the domain and range of

Example 3: Graph the function. State the domain and range.

6.3 – Square Root Functions and Inequalities Day 2

Example 1: When an object is spinning in a circular path of radius 2 meters with velocity v, in meters per second, the centripetal acceleration a, in meters per second squared, is directed toward the center of the circle. The velocity v and acceleration a of the object are related by the function .

Example 1: a. Graph the function in the domain {a|a ≥ 0}.

Example 1: b. What would be the centripetal acceleration of an object spinning along the circular path with a velocity of 4 meters per second?

Square Root Inequalities An inequality involving square roots. Graph using same method as other inequalities. - Solid or dashed line??? - Shade above or below??? (Test point.) * From endpoint, shade straight up/down.
