Question 197690: Hi. I'm not sure what this question wants me to do. Can you help
Express the rule in function notation. (For example, the rule "square, then subtract 5" is expressed as the function f(x) = x^2 - 5.)
Take the square root, add 1, then multiply by 1/8
thanks!

Step 1) Take the square root of "x": sqrt%28x%29


Step 2) Now add 1: sqrt%28x%29%2B1


Step 3) Multiply the last result by 1%2F8: %281%2F8%29%2A%28sqrt%28x%29%2B1%29


So the function is: f%28x%29=%281%2F8%29%2A%28sqrt%28x%29%2B1%29
