10-5 Graphing Square Root Functions Vocabulary: Square Root Function

Square Root Functions A square root function is a function containing a square root with the independent variable in the radicand. The parent square root function is: y = √x . The table and graph below show the parent square root function.

Essential Understanding You can graph a square root function by plotting points or using a translation of the parent square root function. For real numbers, the value of the radicand cannot be negative. So the domain of a square root function is limited to values of x for which the radicand is greater than or equal to 0.

Finding the Domain of a Square Root Function What is the domain of the function y = 2√(3x-9) ? 3x – 9 ≥ 0 The radicand cannot be negative 3x ≥ 9 Solve for x x ≥ 3 The domain of the function is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to 3.

Direct and Inverse Variations

Determining Direct or Indirect Variation Do the data in each table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? For each table, write an equation to model the data? The values of y seem to vary directly with the values of x. Check each ratio. X Y 3 -15 4 -20 5 -25

Determining Direct or Indirect Variation Do the data in each table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? For each table, write an equation to model the data? -15/3 = -5 -20/4 = -5 -25/5 = -5 The ratio y/x is the same for all data pairs. So this is a direct variation and k = -5. An equation is y = -5x X Y 3 -15 4 -20 5 -25

Determining Direct or Indirect Variation Do the data in each table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? For each table, write an equation to model the data? The values of y seem to vary inversely with the values of x. Check each product xy. X Y 2 9 4 4.5 6 3

Determining Direct or Indirect Variation Do the data in each table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? For each table, write an equation to model the data? 2(9) = 18 4(4.5) = 18 6(3) = 18 The product xy is the same for all data points. So this is an inverse variation, and k = 18. An equation is xy = 18, or y = 18/x X Y 2 9 4 4.5 6 3

You Do! Do the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? For the table, write an equation to model the data. direct; y = -3x X Y 4 -12 6 -18 8 -24

Identifying Direct or Inverse Variation Does each situation represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? Explain your reasoning. The cost of a $120 boat rental is split amount several friends. The cost per person times the number of friends equals the total cost of the boat rental. Since the total cost is a constant product of $120, the cost per person varies inversely with the number of friends. This is an inverse variation.

Identifying Direct or Inverse Variation Does each situation represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? Explain your reasoning. b) You download several movies for $14.99 each. The cost per download times the number of movies downloaded equals the total cost of the downloads. Since the ratio (total cost)/(number of movies downloaded) is constant at $14.99, the total cost varies directly with the number of movies downloaded. This is a direct variation.

11-7 Graphing Rational Functions. Objective: SWBAT illustrate rational functions graphically

11-7 Graphing Rational Functions. Vocabulary: Rational Function Asymptote:

11-7 Graphing Rational Functions. Vocabulary: Rational Function A rational function can be written in the form of f(x) = polynomial , where the denominator polynomial cannot be 0. Asymptote: A line is an asymptote of a graph if the graph gets closer to the line as x or y gets larger in absolute value.

Identifying Excluded Values Since division by zero is undefined, any value of x that makes the denominator equal to 0 is excluded.

Identifying Excluded Values What is the excluded value of each function? f(x) = 5_ x – 2 x – 2 = 0 Set the number equal to 0 x = 2 Solve for x The excluded value is x = 2.

Identifying Excluded Values What is the excluded value of each function? b) f(x) = -3_ x + 8 x + 8 = 0 Set the number equal to 0 x = -8 Solve for x The excluded value is x = -8.

You Do! What is the excluded value for y = _3_ x + 7 x = -7

Asymptote A line is an asymptote of a graph if the graph gets closer to the line as x or y gets larger in absolute value.

Asymptote y = _1_ x – 3 The x-axis and x = 3 are the asymptotes.

Using a Vertical Asymptote What is the vertical asymptote of the graph of y = _5_ ? Graph the function. x + 2 x + 2 = 0 Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors. To find the vertical asymptote, find the excluded value. x = -2 Solve for x The vertical asymptote is the line x = -2.

Using a Vertical Asymptote What is the vertical asymptote of the graph of y = _5_ ? Graph the function. x + 2 To graph the function, first make a table of values. Use values of x near -2, where the asymptote occurs. X -7 -4 -3 -1 3 Y -2.5 -5 5 2.5 1

Using a Vertical Asymptote What is the vertical asymptote of the graph of y = _5_ ? Graph the function. x + 2 Use the points from the table to make the graph. Draw a dashed line for the vertical asymptote.

You Do!! What is the vertical asymptote of the graph of h(x) = -3_ x – 6 Graph the function x = 6

Identifying Asymptotes

Using Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes What are the asymptotes of the graph of f(x) = 3_ - 2 ? Graph the function. x - 1 Step 1: From the form of the function, you can see that there is a vertical asymptote at x = 1 and a horizontal asymptote at y = -2.

Using Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes What are the asymptotes of the graph of f(x) = 3_ - 2 ? Graph the function. x - 1 Step 2: Make a table of values using values of x near 1. X -5 -2 -1 2 3 4 Y -2.5 -3 -3.5 1 -0.5

Using Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes What are the asymptotes of the graph of f(x) = 3_ - 2 ? Graph the function. x - 1 Step 3: Sketch the asymptotes. Graph the function.

You Do! What are the asymptotes of the graph of y = -1_ - 4? Graph the function. x + 3 x = -3, y = -4

Using a Rational Function Your dance club sponsors a contest at a local reception hall. Reserving a private room costs $350, and the cost will be divided equally among the people who enter the contest. Each person also pays a $30 entry fee.

Using a Rational Function Your dance club sponsors a contest at a local reception hall. Reserving a private room costs $350, and the cost will be divided equally among the people who enter the contest. Each person also pays a $30 entry fee. What equation gives the total cost per person y of entering the contest as a function of the number of people x who enter the contest?

Using a Rational Function What equation gives the total cost per person y of entering the contest as a function of the number of people x who enter the contest? Relate: total cost per person = cost renting private room + entry fee per person # of people entering contest Write: y = 350 + 30  equation models the situation x

Using a Rational Function b) What is the graph of he function in part (A)? Use the graph to describe the change in the cost per person as the number of people who enter the contest increases. Use a graphing calculator to graph y = 350 + 30. x Since both y and x must be nonnegative numbers, use only the part of the graph in the 1st quadrant.

Using a Rational Function b) You can see from the graph that as the number of people who enter the contest increases, the cost per person decreases. Because the graph has horizontal asymptote at y = 30, the cost per person will eventually approach $30.

Using a Rational Function c) Approximately how many people must enter the contest in order for the total cost per person to be about $50? Use the trace key or the TABLE feature. When y = 50, x = 18. So if 18 people enter the contest, the cost per person will be about $50.

You DO! Suppose the cost to rent a private room increases to $400. Approximately how many people must then enter the contest in order for the total cost per person to be about $50? About 20 people
