Lesson 7.04 Translating Radical Functions

Explore

In the last lesson, you learned to graph radical functions by creating an x-y table and plotting points. You will apply some of that knowledge in this lesson as well as how the graph was translated from the parent graph. Remember that a parent graph is the graph of a function in standard form. For example, the standard form of a radical function is y = √ x  and the parent graph is shown below. Parent graphs will always have (0, 0) as a point on the graph and most commonly as the vertex.
