Graphing Square Root Functions Using T-Charts

The video tutorial explains how to model the time it takes for an object to fall from a height using the equation y = 1/4 radical x. It covers the basics of square roots, common misunderstandings, and how to graph square root functions using a T-chart. The tutorial also explores negative square root functions and transformations of these functions. Finally, it applies these concepts to solve the initial problem of determining the height from which an object falls in one second.

What is the equation that models the height from which a rock is dropped?

What is the significance of the square root of a number in relation to its square?

How do you create a T-chart for the function f of x equals radical x?

Explain the concept of a perfect square number and provide examples.

What happens to the graph of a square root function when a negative sign is applied outside the radical?

Describe the process of graphing the function y equals 1/4 radical x.

How far does the rock fall in 1 second according to the lesson?
