Graph a finite set of ordered pairs .
Graph the square root function.
Identify the domain, range, and equation of the square root function.
Examine the effect of a on the graph of .
Overview We look at the graph of the square root of numbers. We recognize that this graph is a function and examine how this function can be used to measure the speed of a large ocean wave.
