1.3 Example

From [1, p. 128, 13g]

Asked: Graph


\begin{displaymath}
y = x \sqrt{x-1}
\end{displaymath}


1.3.1 Solution


\begin{displaymath}
y = x \sqrt{x-1}
\end{displaymath}

Factor $\sqrt{x-1}$ is $\sqrt{x}$ shifted one unit towards the right.

\end{displaymath}

Multiplying by $x$ magnifies it by a factor ranging from 1 to $\infty$:
