Find the Symmetry y = square root of x+36

$y = \sqrt{x + 36}$

Step 1

There are three types of symmetry:

1. X-Axis Symmetry

2. Y-Axis Symmetry

3. Origin Symmetry

Step 2

If $(x, y)$ exists on the graph, then the graph is symmetric about the:

1. X-Axis if $(x, - y)$ exists on the graph

2. Y-Axis if $(- x, y)$ exists on the graph

3. Origin if $(- x, - y)$ exists on the graph

Step 3

Check if the graph is symmetric about the $x$ -axis by plugging in $- y$ for $y$ .

$- y = \sqrt{x + 36}$

Step 4

Since the equation is not identical to the original equation, it is not symmetric to the x-axis.

Not symmetric to the x-axis

Step 5

Check if the graph is symmetric about the $y$ -axis by plugging in $- x$ for $x$ .

$y = \sqrt{- x + 36}$

Step 6

Since the equation is not identical to the original equation, it is not symmetric to the y-axis.

Not symmetric to the y-axis

Step 7

Check if the graph is symmetric about the origin by plugging in $- x$ for $x$ and $- y$ for $y$ .

$- y = \sqrt{- x + 36}$

Step 8

Since the equation is not identical to the original equation, it is not symmetric to the origin.

Not symmetric to the origin

Step 9

Determine the symmetry.

Not symmetric to the x-axis

Not symmetric to the y-axis

Not symmetric to the origin
