I am doing Graphing Quadratic Functions. My teacher showed me how to graph problems like, f(x)=x^(1/2) + 6x +1, but the homework I got only has one variable. Like f(x)= 2x^(1/2) How would you work this.
My reality comes to a close as I once again realize that you don't love me, and even if I love you with my everything you will never care.

So, does graphing these QE mean you have to plot a graph based on the function? If yes, then it's quite easy, really.

So, in your homework,
your variable is x. Unless there is another variable like y, z etc., x, x^2, x^anything all are classified as one variable. Because all x will take the same value when you apply it/

Let f(x) = y = 2x^(1/2)
for every value of x, find a value for y. That is, plug in x=0,1,2.... and get corresponding y values. Using that plot graph.

Eg:

1. f(0) = 2(0) = 0 =y0
2. f(1)= 2(1) = 2 =y1
3. f(2) = 2(2^1/2) = 2(1.414) = 2.828

You can continue with this and plot the graph.

Some people are hourglass shaped, some people are apple shaped, some people are pear shaped, some people are even bean pole shaped, but if we’re not careful we all become banana shaped. This is your gentle posture reminder.
