Given the function [tex]f(x)=-6\sqrt{x-4}+8.[/tex]
1. The domain of the function (possible values for x) is:
[tex]x-4\ge 0,\\ \\x\ge 4.[/tex]
2. The range of the function (possible values for y) is:
[tex]y=f(x)\le 8.[/tex]
3. x-intercept is when y=0, then
[tex]0=-6\sqrt{x-4}+8,\\ \\\sqrt{x-4}=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{4}{3},\\ \\x-4=\dfrac{16}{9},\\ \\x=4+\dfrac{16}{9}=\dfrac{52}{9}\approx 5.778.[/tex]
Therefore, x-intercept is at point [tex]\left(5\frac{7}{9},0\right).[/tex]
4. There are no y-intercepts.
5. The graph of the function is decreasing (see attached diagram)

Plato Answer:The equation reveals that the vertex, or starting point, of this square root function is at (4,8). Because the domain is x ≥ 4, the graph is defined only for x-values to the right of (4,8). To the left of (4,8), the graph is undefined. The coefficient of -6 means the graph will change at a faster rate than the parent graph. The negative sign indicates the function is decreasing on its domain—as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
