Question

What type of equation is y=a sqrt((x-h/b)+k)? Please help, I have no idea.

Answer 1

A radical equation

Answer 2

eh, I think it might be something more specific, but I'm not sure. oh well, thank you, though!

Answer 3

No, what you are given is the generic way to graph the equation.

Just like an equation with an exponent of degree 2 is called quadratic, the equation you gave is called radicals. Math isn't as hard as people make it to be :)

Answer 4

radical*

Answer 5

alright, its just that we haven't talked about that type in this section in class, so I'm not really sure... heck, he might just want me to call it a square root equation. See, I'm doing this project where I have to find what type of equation to use to graph a line of best fit, and I knew what it looks like, just not what its called.

Answer 6

Ahh ok, yeah no problem. Oh, btw, square root does not equal radical :| Square root is when you ask what number times itself equals something. Just like there is square roots, there are cubed roots, and so on. Just a reminder

Answer 7

alright, thanks!
