document.write( "1)Is square root x squared =x an identity (true for all values of x)?
\n" );
document.write( "2) 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 necessary). Show the points of intersection of these two graphs. c) How does the graph relate to part a? \n" );
