Which transformations would affect the starting point of a square root
function?

There are at least two transformations that would affect the starting point of a square root: (i) Horizontal translation, (ii) Vertical translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square be represented by the following function:

(1)

Which means that function has only valid solutions for every element of greater or equal to 0. In particular, the starting point is .

We can change the starting point of this function by horizontal translation, which is defined below:

(2)

In other words, we create the resulting function:

(3)

Another, possibility is using a vertical translation, whose definition is defined below:

(4)

In other words, we create the following function:

(5)

Hence, there are at least two transformations that would affect the starting point of a square root: (i) Horizontal translation, (ii) Vertical translation.

step-by-step explanation:

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
