Problem 1 Got It? Graphing:
Graph the three square root functions on the same plane at desmos.com.
Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.
Notice how the translations relate to the parent function, to their graphs, and to one another.
Take a screenshot of your graph and upload or paste it onto the Formative canvas.

Take Note: Consider the parent square root function
Translates the graph horizontally
Translates the graph vertically
Stretches or compresses the graph vertically and can cause a vertical reflection of the graph across the x-axis

Take Note: Summarize the process used in Problem 6 to rewrite the radical function
Problem 6 Got It? How can you rewrite the cube root function below so that you can graph it using transformations. Describe the graph.
Problem 6 Got It? Reasoning: Describe the graph of y = |9x - 18| by rewriting it in the form y = a|x - h|. How is this similar to rewriting the square root equation below (from Problem 6)?
