What effect does the '+k' have on the graph of a square root function?

Back

The '+k' shifts the graph vertically. If k is positive, the graph shifts up; if k is negative, it shifts down.

Front

What effect does the '-h' have on the graph of a square root function?

Back

The '-h' shifts the graph horizontally. If h is positive, the graph shifts right; if h is negative, it shifts left.

Front

How does the graph of a cubic function behave?

Back

The graph of a cubic function can have one or two turning points and can extend to positive or negative infinity.

Front

What is the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and the number of roots it can have?

Back

The degree of a polynomial indicates the maximum number of roots it can have. For example, a cubic function (degree 3) can have up to 3 real roots.

What is the effect of a negative coefficient in front of a square root function?

Back

A negative coefficient reflects the graph across the x-axis.
