The discussion revolves around understanding and manipulating functions, particularly in the context of quadratic and root functions. Participants are exploring the implications of transformations and the nature of the given equations.
The discussion is ongoing with multiple interpretations being explored. Some participants are providing guidance on how to approach the problem, while others express confusion about the original poster's statements and the lack of clarity in the problem setup.
There is uncertainty regarding the definitions and terminology used, such as "root function" and the relationship between the functions mentioned. Additionally, there are concerns about notation clarity in the context of square roots.
Please stop using your (sqrt) notation, with parenthes around "sqrt". Put the parentheses around the expression whose square root you're taking. With your notation it's impossible to tell whether the +1 is inside the radical or outside.Nelo said:::: (sqrt)2(x-4) +1
Is this a horizontal or vertical stretch/compression?
I said it was a vertical, since its outside the bracket.
