2 Reflect. Discussion Wh does the end ehavior of the square root function onl need to e descried at one end? The function is not defined for negative values of, and so its ehavior as approaches negative infinit is also not defined. The discrete point (, ) does not descrie end ehavior even though the function ends there. EXPLORE Graphing and Analzing the Parent Square Root Function. The solution to the equation = 4 is sometimes written as = ±. Eplain wh the inverse of ƒ () = cannot similarl e written as g () = ± _ in order to use all reals as the domain of ƒ (). Functions, including functions that are inverses of other functions, must have a single range value for each domain value. The ± smol is shorth and for positive or negative and indicates two different range values for a single domain value. This is counter to the definition of function. Eplore Predicting the Effects of Parameters on the Graphs of Square Root Functions You have learned how to transform the graph of a function using reflections across the - and -aes, vertical and horizontal stretches and compressions, and translations. Here, ou will appl those transformations to the graph of the square root function ƒ () = _. When transforming the parent function ƒ () = _, ou can get functions of the form g () = a ( - h) + k or g () = ( - h) + k. For each parameter, predict the effect on the graph of the parent function, and then confirm our prediction with a graphing calculator. A Predict the effect of the parameter, h, on the graph of g () = _ - h for each function. a. g () = _ - : The graph is a translation of the graph of ƒ () [right/left/up/down] units.. g () = _ + : The graph is a translation of the graph of ƒ () [right/left/up/down] units.

Module 496 Lesson PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Learning Progressions Students have learned how parameters affect the graphs of quadratic functions, asolute value functions, and rational functions. In this lesson, these concepts are etended to the graphs of square root functions. Students analze how the parameters a,, h, and k, in functions of the form f () = a - h + k and f () = ( - h) + k affect the graph of the parent square root function, f () =. The then use this knowledge to graph square root functions, and to analze graphs to determine the functions the represent. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pulishing Compan INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY Students have the option of completing the Eplore activit either in the ook or online. How do ou know that the graph of f () = does not have a horizontal asmptote? As the value of increases, the square root of increases without ound, so there is no horizontal asmptote. (As, f ().) The function is an increasing function, and the range is all non-negative real numers. EXPLORE Predicting the Effects of Parameters on the Graphs of Square Root Functions For functions of the form f () = a, wh does a value of a that is etween and create a vertical compression of the graph of the parent function? The function value for each -value is multiplied a numer less than, making it less than the corresponding value for the parent function; this pulls the graph closer to the -ais.

Discussion Descrie what the effect of each of the transformation parameters is on the domain and range of the transformed function. Each value in the domain shifts left h if h is positive and right h if h is negative. h has no effect on the range. If a is negative, it changes the sign of each value in the range, ut a has no effect on the domain. Each value in the range shifts up k if k is positive and down k if k is negative. k has no effect on the domain. If is negative, it changes the sign of each value in the domain, ut has no effect on the range. Module 497 Lesson COLLABORATIVE LEARNING Peer-to-Peer Activit Have students work in pairs.

Then have the students repeat the activit using functions of the form f () = _ ( - h ) + k. 497 Lesson.

4 Eplain Graphing Square Root Functions When graphing transformations of the square root function, it is useful to consider the effect of the transformation on two reference points, (, ) and (, ), that lie on the parent function, and where the map to on the transformed function, g (). f () = g () = a - h + k g () = ( - h) + k h k h k h + k + a h + k + The transformed reference points can e found recognizing that the initial point of the graph is translated from (, ) to (h, k). When g () involves the parameters a, h, and k, the second transformed reference point is unit to the right of (h, k) and a units up or down from (h, k), depending on the sign of a. When g () involves the parameters, h, and k, the second transformed reference point is units left or right from (h, k), depending on the sign of, and unit aove ( h, k ). Transformations of the square root function also affect the domain and range. In order to work with real valued inputs and outputs, the domain of the square root function cannot include values of that result in a negative-valued epression. Negative values of can e in the domain, as long as the result in nonnegative values of the epression that is inside the square root. Similarl, the value of the square root function is positive definition, ut multipling the square root function a negative numer, or adding a constant to it changes the range and can result in negative values of the transformed function. Eample g () = _ - - For each of the transformed square root functions, find the transformed reference points and use them to plot the transformed function on the same graph with the parent function.

If it has een translated up, k is positive. If it has een translated down, k is negative. AVOID COMMON ERRORS Students ma forget that when indicating a horizontal stretch or compression of the parent graph, the reciprocal of the stretch or compression factor, and not the factor itself, is placed under the radical sign.
