Work Step by Step

Sketching a graph y=f(x): 1. Select several x-values from the domain of f, and calculate f(x) for each x-value. (Make a table of function values) 2. Plot the points (x,f(x)) obtained. 3. Join the points with a smooth curve. $\sqrt{x}$ is defined for nonnegative x. Table: $\left[\begin{array}{lll} x & \sqrt{x} & \\ 0 & 0 & (0,0)\\ 1 & 1 & (1,1)\\ 4 & 2 & (4,2)\\ 9 & 3 & (9,3) \end{array}\right]$
