Radical Functions
Recall that exponential and logarithmic functions are
inverse functions. Quadratic and cubic functions
have inverses as well. The graphs below show the
inverses of the quadratic parent function and cubic
parent function.

Notice that the inverses of f(x) = x 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
Graph each function and identify its domain
and range.
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.
