How to graph f(x) = square root of 2x-4 ??

It depend whether you are asking if #f(x) = sqrt (2x-4) or sqrt 2x-4#
In either case you would start off with the same steps..

Explanation:

Start by stating where #x # is defined...
In the equation # f(x) = sqrt (2x-4# , the domain of the function would be #[2, oo) #
So you can start the equation at x=2 and get the point (2,0)
Then from there I would suggest pick two more #x# values, and plug them into the equation #f(x) = sqrt (2x-4# two get two more points such as # (2.5,1) and (4,2) #
Plot these three points on a graph and then continue the line leftward. The graph then should resemble this one below graph{sqrt (2x-4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
I hope this helped....
