Q. What radical function is represented in the graph?f(x)=(Simplify your answer.)
Identify Key Points: Identify the key points on the graph where the function intersects the axes or has notable features.
Assume Square Root Function: Assuming the graph passes through the origin (0,0), and if it looks like a square root function, then it might be of the form f(x)=ax.
Check Additional Point: Check if the graph passes through another clear point, for example, 4,y. If y=2, then we can use this point to find 'a' in f(x)=ax.
Plug in Coordinates: Plug in the coordinates (4,2) into the equation f(x)=ax to solve for 'a'. So, 2=a4.
Solve for 'a': Since 4=2, we have 2=a×2. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for 'a'. So, a=1.
Final Function: Now we have the function f(x)=x1, which simplifies to f(x)=x.
