First, we need to know the generic graph of We can always graph two points easily (0,0)and (1, a ) Graphing Root Functions
We can do cube roots similarly. The generic graph is And the points we can easily graph are (0,0) (1, a )(-1, - a ) Graphing Root Functions
Remember the pattern for vertical and horizontal shifts If then the graph has Horizontal shift h and Vertical shift k (Hint: This applies to cube root functions also!) Graphing Root Functions
To solve radical equations, we do operations just as we always have For Example: Solving Radical Equations
Things to Remember! To undo a root or rational exponent, put the equation to the reciprocal power! Ex.
Solving Radical Equations Things to Remember! Always check your work for extraneous solutions Ex.
Now try some on your own! Practice!
