Giving the equation for graphs of fractional powers

36 Views Asked by At

In Mathematics Methods we are learning the features of graphs of fractional powers. The equations of these graphs are in the form: $y=a\sqrt{x-b}+c $ By simply analysing a graph with a hyperbola how can we determine the equation?

For example, a hyperbola passes through points $(-2,-1)$ and $(3,1/2)$. Hyperbola passes through the origin. Determine the equation
