Question

Fast! Which of the following are characteristics of the graph of the square root

parent function? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Only choices B and C are correct.

Explanation:

The square root parent function is
`f(x)= √(x).`

The function
`f(x)` is not a linear function, therefore it's graph cannot be a straight line. This rules out choice A.

The function
`f(x)` is defined at
`x=0` because
`f(0)= √(0) =0`. This means that choice B is correct.

The function
`f(x)` is only real for values
`x\geq 0`, because negative values of
`x` give complex values for
`f(x)`. This means that choice C is correct.

The function
`f(x)` can take only positive values which means it is confined to only the I quadrant, and is not defined in quadrants II, III, and IV. This rules out Choice D.

Therefore only choices B and C are correct.

Answer 2

B & C

Explanation:

B and C are the answers
