Graph square root of x+3

$\sqrt{x} + 3$

Find the domain for $y = \sqrt{x} + 3$ so that a list of $x$ values can be picked to find a list of points, which will help graphing the radical.

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{x}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x \geq 0$

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

Interval Notation:

$[0, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

To find the radical expression end point, substitute the $x$ value $0$ , which is the least value in the domain, into $f (x) = \sqrt{x} + 3$ .

Replace the variable $x$ with $0$ in the expression.

$f (0) = \sqrt{0} + 3$

Simplify the result.

Remove parentheses.

$f (0) = \sqrt{0} + 3$

Simplify each term.

Rewrite $0$ as $0^{2}$ .

$f (0) = \sqrt{0^{2}} + 3$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$f (0) = 0 + 3$

Add $0$ and $3$ .

$f (0) = 3$

The final answer is $3$ .

$3$

The radical expression end point is $(0, 3)$ .

$(0, 3)$

Select a few $x$ values from the domain. It would be more useful to select the values so that they are next to the $x$ value of the radical expression end point.

Substitute the $x$ value $1$ into $f (x) = \sqrt{x} + 3$ . In this case, the point is $(1, 4)$ .

Replace the variable $x$ with $1$ in the expression.

$f (1) = \sqrt{1} + 3$

Simplify the result.

Remove parentheses.

$f (1) = \sqrt{1} + 3$

Any root of $1$ is $1$ .

$f (1) = 1 + 3$

Add $1$ and $3$ .

$f (1) = 4$

The final answer is $4$ .

$y = 4$

Substitute the $x$ value $2$ into $f (x) = \sqrt{x} + 3$ . In this case, the point is $(2, \sqrt{2} + 3)$ .

Replace the variable $x$ with $2$ in the expression.

$f (2) = \sqrt{2} + 3$

Simplify the result.

Tap for more steps…

Remove parentheses.

$f (2) = \sqrt{2} + 3$

The final answer is $\sqrt{2} + 3$ .

$y = \sqrt{2} + 3$

The square root can be graphed using the points around the vertex $(0, 3), (1, 4), (2, 4.41)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 \\ 2 & 4.41 \end{array}$
