how to add sqrt2+x and sqrt2-x together? Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{2+x} and \sqrt{2-x}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Can't add them. The radicands are not the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how am i supposed to graph it. because the question ask to graph the first, then the second one, then the graph of both of them adding together :[

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That would be by adding the graphs together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, then i don't know how.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you graph the two equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know how to graph the two, but I don't know how to make the third graph

OpenStudy (mertsj):

ok. Here is an example. If you graph \[y=\sqrt{x+2}\] it will contain the point (2,2) if you graph \[y=\sqrt{x-2}\] it will contain the point (2,0) So the sum function will contain the point (2, 2+0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused how did they have the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to know how to graph if there is no calculator allowed

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Plot some ordered pairs.
