Parent graph:The simplest form of the given function is called the parent function of that function and the graph of the parent function is called the parent graph.

Domain: The set of all possible values for which a given function is defined is called domain.

Range: The set of all possible values of the given function is called range.

The given function is: $y=−7\sqrt{x}$

To graph a function, find a few coordinates by substituting values of ‘$x$’ and find finding the respective values of ‘$y$’.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{¹ó´Ç°ù â¶Ä‰}x=0,\\ y=−7\sqrt{0}\\ =−7\left(0\right)\\ =0\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{¹ó´Ç°ù â¶Ä‰}x=1,\\ y=−7\sqrt{1}\\ =−7\left(1\right)\\ =−7\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{¹ó´Ç°ù â¶Ä‰}x=4,\\ y=−7\sqrt{4}\\ =−7\left(2\right)\\ =−14\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{¹ó´Ç°ù â¶Ä‰}x=9,\\ y=−7\sqrt{9}\\ =−7\left(3\right)\\ =−21\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{¹ó´Ç°ù â¶Ä‰}x=16,\\ y=−7\sqrt{16}\\ =−7\left(4\right)\\ =−28\end{array}$

Plot these coordinates on a coordinate plane and join those points to get the required graph.

The parent function$y=−7\sqrt{x}$ is the simple square root function.

That is,$y=\sqrt{x}$

The graph of the parent function$y=−7\sqrt{x}$ is given below.

Note: Since the parent function is just used for comparison, it is graphed using a graphing calculator.

The parent function is multiplied by ‘$-7$’.

On comparing with the parent function, the graph $y=−7\sqrt{x}$is a vertical stretch of $y=\sqrt{x}$(since the absolute value of ‘$-7$’ is 7 which is greater than 1) and a reflection across the $x$-axis (since the coefficient of is ‘$-7$’ which is negative).

Since ‘$x$’ is inside the root, the values inside the root must be positive.

Therefore, values of$x$are all positive real numbers including zero.

That is,$xâ‰\yen 0,\text{ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰}⇒x∈[0,∞)$

Therefore, domain: $[0,∞)$

In $y=−7\sqrt{x}$, the square root of $x$is multiplied by $-7$.

As the square root is always positive, the least value it takes is zero.

Find the starting value of $y$by substituting $x=0$in $y=−7\sqrt{x}$.

$\begin{array}{c}y=−7\sqrt{0}\\ =−7\left(0\right)\\ =0\end{array}$

In $y=−7\sqrt{x}$, coefficient of $\sqrt{x}$is $-7$, which is negative.

Therefore, $y$takes all the values in real numbers which are less than or equal to zero.

That is,$y≤0,\text{ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰}⇒y∈(−∞,0]$

Therefore, Range:$(−∞,0]$
