Radical Functions & Transformations • [2.1b] PRE-CALCULUS 12

Transformations are used on the basic square root function to graph a radical function given its equation, and to write an equation for a radical function given its graph. Included is a discussion about how stretches can often be viewed both vertically or horizontally. My instructional approach emphasizes conceptual understanding of and connections between concepts and ideas, rather than just pure memorization. Corresponds to chapter 2, section 2.1 in McGraw-Hill's Pre-Calculus 12, but also fits with the radical functions unit from almost any other Pre-Calculus course or textbook.
