Section 4.2: Radical Functions Problems 1-4 Examples vary; you might want to look at the director of curves. Problems 5-8 The problems called WHAT IS WRONG? , if anything, are really enhanced true/false questions. That is, simply saying "true" or "false" is not sufficient -- you need to provide reasoning as well. Problems 9-16 Look to Example 1 for general concepts and Example 2 for details. Problems 17-20 Look to Example 1 for general concepts and Example 2 for details. As you compare each part, you should check out Examples 3 and 4. Problems 21-28 Remember that a fractional exponent is a radical. Look to Example 1 for general concepts and Example 2 for details. Problems 29-34 These examples are extensions of what you did in Problems 21-28. In other words, these are translations of simpler curves. Problems 35-40 See Example 4. Problems 41-48 See Example 3. Problems 49-56 Before you work these problems, take some time going through the details of Example 5. Problem 57 Since A = xy, you know y = A/x. Use this for parts a and b. Note: Homework Hints are given only for Level 1 and Level 2 problems. Hints are generally not given for IN YOUR OWN WORDS or Journal Problems.
