Radical Functions
Notice that the inverses of f(x) = x2 is not a function because it fails the vertical line test. However, if we limit the domain of f(x) = x2 to x ≥ 0, its inverse is the function .A radical function is a function whose rule is a radical expression. A square-root function is a radical function involving . The square-root parent function is . The cube-root parent function is .

Example 1A: Graphing Radical Functions
Make a table of values. Plot enough ordered pairs to see the shape of the curve. Because the square root of a negative number is imaginary, choose only nonnegative values for x – 3.
