Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

1. Use the space provide to respond to each statement concerning the given graph of a radical function.
a.) State the domain of the function.
b.) State the range of the function.
c.) Identify the end behavior of the function.
d.) Identify the x – intercept. Write as an ordered pair.
e.) Determine the absolute minimum of this function.

Answer 1

Part a

The domain is the set of x-values, which is
`[1, \infty)`.

Part b

The range is the set of y-values, which is
`[-3, \infty)`.

Part c

As
`x \to \infty`,
`y \to \infty`.

Part d

The x-intercept is when y=0, which is
`(2, 0)`.

Part e

The absolute minimum is the lowest point, which has a y-coordinate of
`-3`.
