y= (the square root of 8) + x

Question

determine whether the following are square root functions. explain

Answer 1

I was going to answer you, but then I tripped so I couldn't.

Just kidding.

The square root of 8 is a constant. It does not change as x changes. Therefore the graph would look like a line rather than a square root curve.

In order for the function to be a square root function, the x would have to be inside the square root symbol.

Hope that helps! Peace out.
