Transforming $y=f(x)$ to $y^2=f(x)$

29 Views Asked by At

Given a graph $y=f(x)$, transformed to $y^2=f(x)$, how can I determine the gradient of the roots at $y=0$ and why? Take this graph as an example: $y=f(x)$ transforms into $y^2=f(x)$

Particularly, the gradient at B and C are different. It was also said that gradient at B could be 0 instead.
