Question
Plot several points, and sketch the graph of the function defined by the given expression.$$(x-4)^{-1 / 2}$$
Step 1
The function $(x-4)^{-1/2}$ is equivalent to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-4}}$. This function is not defined for values of $x$ less than 4 because the square root of a negative number is not a real number. Show more…
