describe how the graphs of these functions are related

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y = \sqrt {x}\] \[y = 4\sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one is the square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the second one \[\sqrt[4]{x}\] or is it \[4\sqrt{x}\] makes a big difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's exactly how I wrote it and I wrote the wrong question. Though I fixed it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one is four times the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not sure what kind of answer you are looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to describe how the graphs are similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the graphs http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+sqrt+%7Bx%7D%3B+y+%3D+4*sqrt%7Bx%7D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

be careful when you look at the graphs it is giving you real and imaginary numbers make sure to click on "real plot"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This means one square root is positive while another one is negative. Let x be the number you are looking for. Your word statement can be written as the following equation \[\sqrt{x}-(-\sqrt{x}) = 2\sqrt{x}=30 \] or \[\sqrt{x}=15 and x= 152=225\]
