Examples
  1. Comparing: y=f(x)y = f\left( x \right) VS. y=f(x)y = \sqrt {f\left( x \right)}
    Given f(x)=x+3f\left( x \right) = x + 3,
    1. Use a table of values, graph the functions y=f(x)y = f\left( x \right) and y=f(x)y = \sqrt {f\left( x \right)} .

      y=f(x)=x+3y = f\left( x \right) = x + 3

      y=f(x)=x+3y = \sqrt {f\left( x \right)} = \sqrt {x + 3}
