1 EXAMPLE 1 Graph a square root function Graph y =,and state the domain and range. Compare the graph with the graph of y =. 1 2  x  x SOLUTION Make a table of values and sketch the graph.

2 EXAMPLE 1 Graph a square root function The radicand of a square root must be nonnegative. So, the domain is x ≥ 0. The range is y ≥ 0. The graph of y = is a vertical shrink of the graph of y = by a factor of.  x 1 2  x 1 2

3 EXAMPLE 2 Graph a cube root function Graph y = –3 3, and state the domain and range. Compare the graph with the graph of y =.  x x  3 SOLUTION Make a table of values and sketch the graph.

4 EXAMPLE 2 Graph a cube root function The domain and range are all real numbers. The graph of y = – 3 is a vertical stretch of the graph of y = by a factor of 3 followed by a reflection in the x- axis. x  3 x  3

5 EXAMPLE 3 Solve a multi-step problem Use a graphing calculator to graph the model. How long is a pendulum with a period of 3 seconds? Pendulums The period of a pendulum is the time the pendulum takes to complete one back-and-forth swing. The period T (in seconds) can be modeled by T = 1.11 where l is the pendulum’s length (in feet).  l

6 EXAMPLE 3 Solve a multi-step problem SOLUTION STEP 1 Graph the model. Enter the equation y = 1.11. The graph is shown below.  x Use the trace feature to find the value of x when y = 3. The graph shows x 7.3. STEP 2

7 EXAMPLE 3 Solve a multi-step problem ANSWER A pendulum with a period of 3 seconds is about 7.3 feet long.
