Q

Section 11.3

What is the rotation, horizontal shift, and vertical shift of the given function?
f(x) = (x + 13)(SQ) - 7

A

No reflection. Left 13. Shift down 7.

There is no reflection because the function is positive.

31
Q

11.4

What is the standard (vertex) form of a square root function?

A

f(x) = (SQRT of)(x - h) + k

32
Q

11.4

Explain the difference to our square root function graph when a negative is outside the square root and when a negative is inside the square root.

A

When a negative is outside the square root, it reflects downwards. It flips vertically.
When a negative is on the inside of the square root, it reflects horizontally.
