Tell the transformations by looking at the following equations:
y = -2(x – 3)2 +5
y = 8(x + 1)3 – 9

2. Graphs of Radical & Cube Root Functions Domain, Range, & Shifts

3. Graphing Square Root Functions
A square root function is a function containing a square root with the independent variable in the radicand.
The easiest way to graph a function is to create an x and y table.
Graph y = x y 1 2 4 9

4. Now when you are graphing square roots there is no need for you to include negative x values in your table.
Remember taking the square root of a negative number creates no real roots, so you will be unable to graph non-real roots.
So to find what number to start with we need to find the x-value that will give you a real number answer

5. Radicand
Set the radicand equal to zero. Solving will provide us with the start value. For example what if we had We would set x – 2 = 0 and solve for x.

6. Graphing Radical Functions
To complete the x/y table, we need to decide where to start.
Do you remember how to calculate the starting x-value?
Set the RADICAND equal to 0.
x + 7 = 0, Start with x = -7

7. Determine the start values

8. Domain of a Radical Function
Given the Radicand:
Set up an inequality showing the radicand is greater than or equal to 0.
Solve for x.
The result is your DOMAIN!

9. Determine the DOMAIN

What is different about the graphs? How did the 2nd graph “shift”? x y x y

12. Graph the function
Domain: Domain:
Range: Range: x y x y

13. Graph the function
Domain: Domain:
Range: Range: x y x y

14. Graph the function
Domain: Domain:
Range: Range: x y x y

15. Compare the graphs
We are going to look back at the graphs we made and compare/contrast the similarities and differences among their graphs and functions.

16. Graph the function
When you ADD or SUBTRACT under the radical, you shift in the opposite direction. x y 4 5 1 8 2 13 3 20

17. x y .5 1 2
4.5 3 8 4 x y
1.5 1 3 2
13.5 24 4
When you DIVIDE or MULTIPLY under the radical, the graph is STRETCHED Horizontally out side to side or COMPRESSED Horizontally.

18. Graph the function
When you ADD or SUBTRACT outside of the radical, you shift UP or DOWN. x y 3 1 4 5 9 6 16 7 x y -5 1 -4 4 -3 9 -2 16 -1

19. Recap Radical Shifts Matching
Subtract under the radical
Move up
Add under the radical
Move right
Multiply under the radical
Move down
Divide under the radical
Move left
Add outside of the radical
Stretch vertically
Subtract outside of the radical
Compress vertically

20. Radical Transformations…
Moving radical functions around the graph…
What do you notice about the placement of each letter compared to their transformation? (think, what did we talk about yesterday and how did each letter in the equation transform the function?

21. Radical Transformations

22. Transformations
We apply the transformations on these functions in the same
manner as we did with the polynomial functions.
Vertical stretch of 3
Vertical shift up 2
Horizontal shift right 3

23. Try these… Vertical stretch 3 Horizontal shift left 1
Vertical shift down 1
x-axis
Vertical shift up 4
Horizontal shift right 2
Vertical shrink of ½

24. Try these… Vertical stretch of 3 Horizontal shift left 2
Vertical shift down 4
x-axis
Vertical shrink of ½
Horizontal shift right 1
Vertical shift up 2

25. We simplify the radicand if possible
Check the 1st and 3rd lines in your calculator.
Do they match?
