Exercise 7 Page 545

We will first graph the given square root function. Then, we will compare the graph to the graph of its parent function.

Graph

Before we draw the graph of the square root function, we need to first determine the domain of our function. To find the domain of $h(x)=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{x},$ recall that the radicand of a square root is always greater than or equal to $0.$ Therefore, the domain of the given function is all real numbers greater than or equal to $0.$ With this in mind, we will make a table of values to graph the function.
