Question 62931: For the equation x-square root x = 0, perform the following:
a) Solve for all values of x that satisfies the equation.
b) Graph the functions y = x and y = square root x on the same graph (by plotting points if neccessary). Show the points of intersection of these two graphs.
c) How does the graph relate to part a?

For part a only
x+-+sqrt%28x%29=0 can be factorised to get
sqrt%28x%29%28sqrt%28x%29-1%29=0
So either sqrt%28x%29=0 ie x=0
orsqrt%28x%29-1=0 ie x=1
The two solutions must therefore be x=0 and x=1
