Answer 1

To assist you effectively, let's clarify the questions one by one:

### Question 1: Graph the square root functions \( f(x) = \sqrt{x} \) and \( g(x) = \sqrt{x - 4} \).

1. **Y-intercept**:
- The function \( f(x) = \sqrt{x} \) has a y-intercept at the point where \( x = 0 \).
- When \( x = 0: f(0) = \sqrt{0} = 0 \) → The y-intercept is (0, 0).
- The function \( g(x) = \sqrt{x - 4} \) does not have a y-intercept because it is undefined for \( x < 4 \).
- The smallest value \( x \) can take is 4, where \( g(4) = \sqrt{4 - 4} = \sqrt{0} = 0 \).

Therefore, only \( f(x) \) has a y-intercept.

**Answer: f(x)**

### Question 2: Minimum point for the quadratic function \( f(x) = -3(x - 5)^2 + 7 \).

This is a quadratic function in vertex form, where the vertex (minimum or maximum point) can be identified as follows:

In the vertex form \( f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k \):
- The vertex is at the point \( (h, k) \).
- Here, \( a = -3 \), \( h = 5 \), and \( k = 7 \).

Since \( a < 0 \), the vertex is a maximum point.

Thus, the coordinates of the vertex (maximum point) of the quadratic function are:

**Answer: (5, 7)**


### Summary:
- **Question 1:** \( f(x) \) has a y-intercept.
- **Question 2:** The minimum point for the quadratic function is \( (5, 7) \).
