See diagram

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $$f(=\sqrt{x-1}.$$ We build a machine diagram for $f$: the input values are the values from the domain of $f$, which is $[1,\infty)$ and the output values are the corresponding values $f(x)$: $$\begin{align*} f(1)&=\sqrt{1-1}=\sqrt 0=0\\ f(5)&=\sqrt{5-1}=\sqrt 4=2\\ f(10)&=\sqrt{10-1}=\sqrt 9=3. \end{align*}$$
