Example: Graphing the Function
To graph the function , we choose non-negative -values since the domain of the square root function is restricted to non-negative real numbers. Selecting perfect squares simplifies the calculations. For instance, evaluating the function at -values of , , , and yields the -values , , , and . We then plot the ordered pairs , , , and and connect them to sketch the curve.

Optimizing Point Selection for Graphing Efficiency
A civil engineer is monitoring the vertical subsidence (sinking) of a structural pillar over several months. The change in height (in inches) is modeled by the function , where is the number of months since the pillar was installed. To graph this trend for a safety report, the engineer calculates specific coordinate points. Match each duration () with its corresponding change in height () as calculated in the standard graphing example.
